A Taste of Spring

60 degrees!! It was so nice to have a change from the temeratures in the teens, 20's and 30's...even if only for a short time! Several of us met down at Kelly Drive for the run. Some did 6, some did 7. It was a perfect day for it.

Heather showed everyone that she is quite the serious runner these days with her new water belt. She wore it well and was likely the most hydrated out of all of us!

We ran into Betsy along the way (literally)...It was good to see her smiling face on a Sunday morning too! She is really coming along with her training as well! Betsy, we'll get you in the picture next time!!!

Oh how I wish I had my camera with me when the rains came! As we neared the Art Museum on our way out, a large rain cloud caught our eye. By the time we we in front of the museum, it was drizzling some. Within another 5 minutes it was really coming down! No words needed to be exchanged as we passed other runners and bikers...we were all pretty much thinking the same thing (and laughing at one another!). JoAnne and I decided that it is good "training" in case it rains the day of Broad Street. I hear that Bruce Springsteen doesn't like to get his hair wet, so we are hoping for a beautiful day! ;-)

Fortunately, the rain lasted 10 minutes or so and then was done. It was actually quite refreshing, given that we were rather toasty at that point in the run!

Partial team picture below. We were wet, tired, and my feet were completely numb. Great job everyone! I am now going to try to ease the aching in my legs before school tomorrow!
