A New Season - 2010
January 24, 2010 – 9:34 amI’ve been back with the group since just before Christmas, but this is my first post for the new season.
Most of the usual folks are back and there’s some newcomers. Glenna, Dennis, Troy, Angela, Carrie, Melissa, Chris, and even Chuck came down.
Yesterday, we ran the 7-mile course up past Eden Park to McMillan. It felt pretty good.Started off slow as we were at the casino the night before (and this means alcohol). But the pace up the hill felt pretty good and by the time we were coming down we decided to try to catch up to Troy.
Troy got out to a head start and then, at the turnaround, made some comment about “catching the rabbit.”
I blame this on Chuck. But as we came down Gilbert, Chuck was running out of gas. I felt pretty good until Glenna passed me near the Staples on Reading and I knew I couldn’t stay with her at that pace.
But I kept her in sight and even caught up a bit with her as we were coming down Eggleston. Finished the last 2 miles in 7:30 or under.
Felt great and then the usual breakfast at First Watch. Great way to officially kick off the new season.
