WNR

I couldn't make TNR; Because of work problems, Rick couldn't get home to let Spot out.  She didn't know her dog walk was at the cost of my run.  I could have gone out after, but she also deserves some company.  I put out a message on the TMR forum asking if anyone was interested in a run at Fore River Sanctuary or Twin Brooks after work.  Emma was the first to say she could make TB.  I had to tell Zak that I already was headed there; he could have run Fore River, but now I know there are options during the week!

Emma had planned on six miles.  I thought maybe I could squeeze in six, but definitely the usual five.  Emma had Kip along.  It was obvious that he was very happy to be included; I think he had more enthusiasm than on TNR.  We covered the upcoming Stone Cat first.  I think there are at least five TMs doing the 50 and seven or eight running the marathon, a pretty strong group.  Then we caught up on all different topics.

The trails were their normal muddy fun.  I swear that mud almost becomes a part of your skin.  I scrubbed with a pretty firm brush to get it off and it never really washed out of my toes completely.  I did stop after 5.3 miles, but Emma headed on to finish all her six.  Thanks, Emma and Kip, for a great WNR!
