Jun 29 Run: Tom's House

After several Sundays of running Tomless, he not only re-appeared but volunteered to lead the run next week. Meet at his house on Ayelsboro for what I am sure will be an entertaining and planned run (no choices will need to be made).

We celebrated the second day of Summer by running through picturesque Chatham University, down the secret steps to Shadyside and the back upppppppp Beechwood, with the big hooties - which Wendy told us was an all purpose word for things whose name your forget. This prompted a story from Tom which ended with "a hoochie Mama, your Honor." Paula and Johnathon reported on what sounded like the idyllic week at the beach where enough runners/walkers were present to meet every day for exercise and coffee - a running group intensive! We had our own leisurely coffee gathering with conversation topics ranging from the trials of raising young adults, new babies (one time runner, Sarah stopped by asking if anyone had used maternity clothes - congratulations!), bread making classes at Enrico's, Block Island as the best place to go for a vacation, and the inspirational story of a young woman quadriplegic sailing around the UK: http://www.hilarylister.com/
