I can't believe how fast time flies. It's been a pretty good week with running and work although work is certainly slower than the preceeding couple of weeks. I really like the people I work with so it's fun so far. I think this week I'll end up with about 6 clients for the week so that is perfect!
Frank is doing better and hopefully it's because the "mice" are moving away from his joints and not just the drugs masking the pain. He's able to walk pretty much normally so that is very encouraging and he's already looking forward to running next week!
Tomorrow is the Reindeer 5K in Southern Pines which should be a lot of fun. Hopefully some of my walker lady friends will be there. I'll have to call them to be sure! I'm also going to go to Asheboro NC on Sunday to run the Victory Junction 1/2 Marathon. I wanted to get a longer run in so this seems perfect. Lots of MTCers will be there as well as Striders.
Speaking of the Striders, you won't believe what I did last night at the meeting. As you know I assumed the role of President Elect back in September after the current one resigned (smart lady) with the knowledge that it will mean that I will be President in January for one year. Fine, I was already thinking I was a little crazy but what the heck. Anyway, last night no one would volunteer or nominate anyone for the President Elect role for 2009. One women (another Donna) said she would be VP but didn't want to be the president elect in 2010 so (and this is where it gets crazy) I blurted out "I'll be president for 2 years, if you'll be VP for one year! What was I thinking??? Now next year, when her term is up we'll look for yet another VP and hopefully someone will come forth. Now, I'm into this for 2 years after already thinking that I shouldn't even be doing it at all! Hopefully I'll have lots of help and will be able to actually run with the club eventually. I'm so much slower than those young ones that I'm really out of my leaque. Also, no one would volunteer or nominate for the role of Treasurer or Secretary so I nominated two of the women I've recently met and have recruited them into the club. Hopefully I'll be able to recruit more older slower runners to join me and then it will be a success!!!! I do have lots of plans for the club but they may not go over as well as I hope they do. I may be out of my league!!!
Gotta Run!
By the way, here's a photo of Frank at the Sweaty Butt 50K last July. Someone sent it to me recently and I thought it was pretty good. Like those abs?
