I wasn’t sure…I’ve been sick since last Friday…the progression has been great……Friday horrible with a really sire throat, Saturday a bit better, and managed to knock off a 6K run….a quick – for me – run, Sunday I bailed on Run Club, I just felt like crap…and didn’t feel much better on Saturday, but I just did not feel up to leading my group…..Monday, was just a head cold, And yesterday, well, I felt good enough to go to work and sell shoes..

So why not run yesterday evening…a 6PM group..and yeah it was a special event so, yeah, sucking wind and blowing some snot rockets, but felt good enough for this

WE had another small group, but a really quick group…and a fun run, I liked the route – even though I didn’t pick it – it was fun, with a nice hill and an amazing pace…I think it was 6:03?…….wow!……

And the end of it all, and this morning I was think a few things..how to grow the run club(s) and just what my motivation is?………

I have to say, getting groups out to run is kind of my passion…I like groups of people doing what they love to do…….either out on the streets and trails or in our store..and the staff…our staff…I love all of that…..and I guess it’s what drives me…doing stuff, and better yet seeing others doing stuff…running, biking, swiming, whatever……..

I definitly felt every year of my 64 years, but it felt so good……….and what I want to do always…

races training whatever……..who cares……..just doin’ stuff….

I’m a pretty lucky SOB being able to do this, not everyone has this, and opportunity given…between the RRoom store and my life as a Run Club guy at the Running Room and now at SVAC, looking after virtual run clinics, it’s a pretty full life….but fun, so many more ups than downs…..I know, I take the downs pretty hard and personal, but the ups, the positives are so good….you know, you get that warm fuzzy feeling……

Tonight is another of that……..the weekend is gonna be full..it just keeps going and going, I’m not really aiming at any events or races right now, just having fun…but it seems everyday is an adventure….can’t ask for any more ….
