We might have a blog about running, but don't let it fool you, we are not 'runners'. We run so we can eat. We love to eat. We have fun running, but we aren't going to win any races. We would be what some would consider to be a 'casual runner'.....
On the other hand, there is Vaughn. He is a friend/coworker/boss that is running the Boston Marathon this weekend. I complain about running when it is a little chilly out. However, it was raining this morning on my way to work, and Vaughn was out running because he was preparing for the marathon. Running in the rain takes dedication, but running one of the most prestigious races in the world... that's just impressive.
Good luck Vaughn.
Running in rain is one level of dedication... running when it is 20 below and one can't feel their extremities any longer is whole other level (which is the level Vaughn is at)! I run (albeit short distances from my desk to copier, up the stairs to see Chad, from the kitchen table to the icemaker...) so not to waddle! P.S. Not to rub it in, but we just signed up for our annual weekend trip on North TopSail beach... A good thought for when it is 40 degrees and raining this AM (perfect weather for a marathon!)
ReplyDeleteAll of the T-County and Holmes County runners that ran Boston did an AWESOME job! Cheers to all of them!
