I have a special group of people that I run with, and even more important, they are people I can call friends. A few of them are part of my direct family, but the rest are a part of my running family. Today we met at Caribou for coffee, and exchange gifts for Secret Santa. We may have met for coffee…but it really had nothing to do about coffee. It was a time to get together, after our run, and just talk, and laugh! The coffee was just added bonus to it all. The following pictures of us just having a good time!
It was a great day to start off the morning, even when the wind chill was well below zero. Yes, we ran, and we like to run, and that is what keeps us coming back for more. But it is the friendships we make along the way that keeps us all going. Here we are all just posing for the camera!
Now, a couple people that I would say are originals for the run club were not able to make it today. Tom Beaudry, and Paula Nurnberg. Believe me, you were both there in discussion today! How could we possibly meet as a group and not have you two come up in the discussion! There were many others that are part of the group as well who have joined along the years, and had other activities going on as well. We will just have as many of us to meet as we can each time. One thing is for sure, there will be more times as well. The more of us there, the better. Maybe not to Caribou as we kind of take over the place, but hey, we are buying things there!
Cheers to you especially Tom. We have been running together for many years!!!! Runs just are not the same when you are not there. We have been through many marathons and training programs together. Many a run we have spilled our guts out to each other helping to solve problems. No amount of words can describe all the benefits that those runs have provided over the years! The last couple of weeks you have been running again, working your way back recovering from your foot injury. We both make quite the pair with injuries and illness this year. Let’s hope 2020 brings much more fun, and run times, and not health/injury times! Old running partners are always around for each other. I want to keep it this way, and look forward to many more years ahead! Thanks for all of the good times, and runs Tom! Keep moving everybody!
