Could it be? Is it possible that spring is in the air? It sure felt like it this morning and it was a warm welcome, literally. Hard to believe that on Monday we were covered in snow with bone-chilling winds. It was about 45 degrees outside when the SRC folks gathered at Northwest Avenue this morning and most of the snow on the trail had melted. It was a bit of a mud fest with lots of puddle hopping in areas, but who cares when you don't have to dress like Nanook of the North just to go for a run!
What was even better this morning was the return of two very important members of SRC, Zen Yanni and Weezinator! Welcome back! We've missed you!
Also, we have a new nickname for Eric S, CBG, which is short for "Crazy Bald Guy." This was actually coined by a member of a gym where CBG teaches spin. Incidentally, in case you didn't know, the photos at the top of the page are of CBG, who kindly posed for the camera to show just how muddy the trail was. You should see him after an Adventure Race!
We had 27 folks show up this morning. When asked how far people were running I got quite a few responses like this, "I'm doing Shawmont.....?????", so this is my best stab at the "...????" part for those responses.
