Didn't want to risk slipping this close to the races, so went out to the Oval.  For a while I was the only person in the track/rink area, so ran in the dark.  After a mile or so, about 20 or so other runners started piling in and they turned on the lights.

As I was leaving, saw this really short lady and really tall lady coming in to the track, so visited with them.  One of them was going to 'lose her marbles' today as a way of tracking laps, so I passed on my lap counter as an easier method.

Maurine!!!! It was so good to see you this morning! THANKS for helping RAD not "loose her marbles". She operated the counter flawlessly...yes much easier and efficient way!

Have fun on your trip to the sunny south. I'm sooooo excited for you to be running w/ your daughter. Goofy Challenge here you come! :) :) :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS!!! :)

Oh, still laughing hard about the really short and really tall ones! :D

I can only imagine the legends born of people seeing us running together. I'm sure Smooth ends up being my 12 year old daughter :)

Thank you thank you thank you for the counter! I still think I've lost my marbles, but at least now I can keep track of my laps a little easier.

Good luck with the Goofy Challenge! I think I really want to try that one sometime, you'll have to tell me whether or not you like it or would recommended it to a thoroughly 'marbles lost' runner such as myself :)

So nice of you to loan them your clicker thingy! I tried counting the last time I ran there and I think I literally lost my marbles!!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! WHEN is the race???

I've thought I could make good money selling clickers there at the track.

Saturday is the half marathon (5:30 a.m. is the first wave - we probably don't start until almost 6:30 a.m.). Sunday is the marathon.
