Welcome Sandra!

About half of us rolled into VDP @ 6 and 1/2 of us rolled into Brickyard @ ~ 7. Sandra ran w/ the VDP group for 5 miles and then turned around to complete 10. I think we all got a chance to talk with her / run with her and look forward to doing it again and again and again! She's got a 1/2 next Saturday and seems to be OK w/ a minor hamstring pull, being very careful not to overdo.

Brent, Tracy, Lee, Steve and Mike covered between 18 and 20 miles today.

Steve's route was awesome. Ultragirl yelled out "Viaduct Trail" at one particularly rocky section. When we turned around @ 7 after climbing a couple of decent hills we decided not to take exactly

the same route back (see map). I think next week we'll not take the left across Bridge St bridge and then west up the hill but rather stay on the trail toward Canton. Three of us are going 22/23 and are looking for a flatter path. The realization that our marathons are about a month away is sobering.

Got together w/ Rose, Mary, Linda and Lani @ Dunkin' Donuts after. Their group started between 6:45 and 7:30 and did about 9 to 11 miles I think. Barbara ran with them.

Time to sit down, rest and be thankful we are all able to do this and have such awesome friends to do it with.
