Well, we had another great day up in the Massanutten! There were more running options than shoes in Mrs. Corris’ closet for the 26 runners that showed up. We had Brian’s Run, Brian’s Run Modified Versions A-Z, Ed’s Run, Bur’s Run, Dodds’ Run, and (Your name here)’s Run. We certainly had great choices. But that’s not all! We also had something from every conceivable food and beverage category known to mankind. Believe it or not, we even had Knob Creek with brownies! Now there’s a winning combination. Then of course it was dinnertime, so off to Jalisco’s we went. Finally, after a quick swing through the ER and about 20 minutes on the stomach pump, I was heading for home.
As always, it’s the participants that make these fun runs just that, big fun. So thanks to each of you for coming out. And special thanks to the following: Brian McNeill for conceiving this run. Sorry you weren’t able to join us Brian. Charlie Isom for serving as the chuck wagon and bail out vehicle at 211 East. John Dodds, Cheryl Harrison, and Charlie for transportation to the start at Camp Roosevelt. Margie Hughes for collecting the 14 tons of aide we had strewn along the hillside at the Visitor’s Center and transporting it to 211. Finally, I’d like to thank the two coyote trappers who informed us of the numerous traps they had set and the locations thereof. And I think that they in turn appreciated the firm grip Rick Kerby kept on his fine canine Dogzilla who appeared to be ready to demonstrate a leg clamp of her own. Maybe next time girl.
See ya out and about!
