Kelsey will be down in Wilton today, celebrating the reopening of a church his and another family founded some years back. So we'll miss him today at the 5K.
Back to Saturday. Rose ran short and then joined Linda for a walk while Kelsey, Tracy and Lee ran south for 4 then 180ed north for another 4, talking of many things, mostly it seems cats and dogs, mostly cats. More in a bit on this. With about .5 to go someone, nobody's revealing who, suggested we pick it up a bit and Mr. Cabral left us in the dust (leaves?). Tracy ran Vermont City and Hartford full, back to back, this year and is looking to improve her half marathon time. Self-described coach Lee thinks her theory that one push the pace during a training run is a perfect prescription for a PR.
Back to cats. Kelsey had pretty much of a horror story about the demise of one of the cats in his family (ask him if you really need to know) and Tracy admitted that her Zoe (on the right) is her confidante (being the only female in her family of 2 sons and a husband).
Upcoming halfs were discussed: Hogsback Re-Do (which is a Brickyarder original and will be timed only by those who run it, not on Cool Running, T-shirtless but otherwise standard fare (nourishment and awards), Roxbury half on December 11 (Roxbury, CT has a slew of races it turns out - next one up is an 11.2 next Saturday), Colchester (February) and Oleksak Lumber Spring Half Marathon (Sunday April 11, 2011 in Westfield, MA).
But I get ahead of myself. Too many races, too little time.
After Saturday's run Linda and I joined veteran runners Diane Stuart, Jo Marchetti, Barbara Lathrop, Paul Rabenold, David Reik and Judith Lohman (not pictured) and Cyndi Simpson for a reunion of sorts at the Prospect Cafe.
