Hey gang,
Saturday morning was a bit chilly and a little foggy, but hey, it's November! Several HEAT members turned out to support Team Nashville for their Annual 10 miler in Goodlettsville. I was running with a recovering, but still tender hamstring injury, so speed was not going to happen for me that morning.
This is the same route a lot of us run every Wednesday night during the summer months from Moss Wright Park. It's called the "Wednesday night Skip". Not sure exactly how it got that name, but two summers ago we started calling it that.
One loop in the park, then out and up the first hill. The morning was sooooo nice with the sun peaking through and the fog burning off. The golf course was covered in dew as we ran by. Sheila and I decided we'd allow ourselves a walk break after every mile and we took every last one of them!
It was Sheila, Marilyn and I together rounding the bend on Madison Creek when we saw the most awesome TP job in some poor souls yard! We were laughing so hard I nearly had to stop running! Oh wait, I did walk a little. :-) It wasn't just the front yard, it was the sides, the back, the bushes along the front of the house. We're pretty sure if you rode your bike down there today, the TP would still be there. I mean it was every where! You can see it in the background of the photo that Chuck took of the three of us.
I think Marilyn had a pretty good gel at the ACME water stop cause she took that last hill, like she always does, and didn't look back the rest of the race. Sheila and I played a little back and forth, but came in under two hours.
Of course the best part about running a race...or any run for that matter, is the friends you're with and the food you share with those friends afterwards. Yes folks, we went to, you guessed it, Cracker Barrel! Yummy! Michele, Skip, Marilyn, Sheila and me.
I so love fall weather!
