Nice & easy but kinda long social run today. Kim and I ran with the SF group and enjoyed hearing a mix of both somber and silly stories.
The first part of the run we listened to Doc Ludlow recount his experiences of the past week and a half in Japan. His wife is Japanese and her family is from the Sendai area and ironically they had made a trip to Sendai just days before the disaster hit. Fortunately they were in an area of Sendai 6 miles from the ocean so the tsunami didn't affect them, but some of the extended family lived closer to the ocean and were affected. Thankfully all the relatives survived. It was very interesting to hear a firsthand account.
Then later we got to hear out some of the escapades of "British" Bob and a his long time buddy and running partner Dave. Stories of an encounter with "Diaper Boy" on the Provo river trail and other various running/racing adventures. Good stuff and made the run go by quick. Hadn't run 15 miles since early January. I probably won't go much further than for another couple months or so.
