It was chilly, there's no denying that. But it was a nice change. That crisp morning air just lends a little something to the aura of Annapolis in the early hours before the whole city wakes up and tourists flood the streets. The quiet is also conducive to sharing all the gossip that must be shared.The run downtown was kind of slow (umm, yeah, actually the whole run was kind of slow). Both Brie and I are aching...her knee my hamstring. But we are bad ass and just keep going. And somewhere along this path I hit the 800 mile mark. That's right folks, 80% of the way towards logging 1000 miles this year. That just feels awesome.
When we got down to city dock and Brie pulled the bread out from under her stroller the kids were ecstatic. I don't remember ducks being so thrillling when I was three, but they must have been. Ducks fed, we continued down city dock, alternately racing the kids and carrying them (well me carrying the diva). Brie also spent time telling B what was special about the Bear and the Bull, two almost ancient sailboats that are still in operation. All in all it was a success...and then we had to hightail it back to Brie's so the diva and I didn't miss Sunday School.I thank every opportunity to run with friends, particularly my BRB. It makes the solo runs and the races easier later on. In particular, its made my goals easier to envision this year. All's well. Happy trails!
