While out for a short run yesterday, one of my dad's neighbors asked if I was moving to Florida permanently, because if I was, she would like to run with me, as she apparently had been watching me run throughout the week. When I said no, she asked why I was running on my vacation. The answer was simple, I have a 10-mile race I have to do at the beginning of May in honor of a colleague. Without hesitation, she asked if I would like to join her at 5 AM the next morning (today) and run, as she had to go to work later. I said that I would try, but that she should start w/out me if I was not at her house b/c I seldom get up that early to teach high school! Well, when the alarm went off around 4:30 AM this morning, I thought about getting up, then went back to sleep. Now about six hours later, I finished sleeping, woke up, and prepared for my big run (mentally, as it was going to be the longest run I completed since 2003 and physically, as Florida sunshine requires a lot of sunblock), and then completed 8.5 miles. When I wanted to quit, I just thought about Bruce. Knowing that I will easily accomplish the Broad Street 10, my goal for the next few weeks is to work on my speed, so that I can join Mike at the finish line to celebrate before he takes off!
Two quick questions:
1) Are we registering together as a team, or individually?
2) Does anyone want to carpool to Valley Green on the 19th together from the Central Bucks (Doylestown) area?
