Runners Blog

I wonder if blogging about running will help me run more or at least more consistently. I was running every single day of the new year until I got Bodhi. Since then I have not been very consistent and both Maddie and I are missing it. This morning I ran in a Mesilla Valley Track Club event with Ed - the Super Bowl Fun Run. It is a trail run up Geothermal Road and there are 5k and 10k events. We both did the 5k this time but I have done the 10k in the past. It is a tough run with lots of little hills and lots of soft sand. I may try to make this the beginning of a new running streak. We will have to wait and see. I was glad I went this morning because I saw a number of people that I know or have met in the past - Shannon and Mary & Eddie and Jules & Kate and John.

It is a small world after all. John is one of my neighbors and I met Shannon through Team in Training which was coached by Kris. I first met Jules & Kate at a party at the house of Kris & Steve. I have since met them again at a party thrown by Kevin & Lisa and another party thrown by Mary & Eddie. I met Kevin & Lisa through Ed. I was introduced to Mary by Steve after the marathon last year that Shannon and I and Steve did - and Kris coached. Steve and Mary and I spent the several few post-marathon hours at the finish line drinking beer instead of drinking water or stretching or showering or napping. What fun. I met Eddie when Mary invited me to a party at their house a week or so after the marathon. Ed met Eddie through a friend of his who is a colleague of Eddie. I am intrigued by the small worldness of life in this town.
