A warm day had cooled to the perfect evening for a dinner and drinks overlooking an Alamitos Bay sunset.
Coach Steve was already seated on the patio when I arrived.
Coach Steve congratulated me on my first 30 mile ride and group experience.
It was announced that our next destination race would be the Honolulu Marathon in December.
I politely declined and explained the Tour DaVita in September was already a significant financial investment for me.
I enjoy talking to new runners because their excitement is contagious and it's so refreshing to see that sense of accomplishment in their eyes.
One thing I really love about my running group is how friendly everyone is.
After indulging in some tasty appetizers and satisfying conversation, I headed out for a short run.
You make me want to join a running group! Hawaii would be tempting...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool group to be a part of!
ReplyDeleteI know Hawaii would be an awesome trip but I can't think it's be an awesome marathon - too hot and humid. I think you made the wise choice with the tour trip, will be so exciting!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you just had to go for a run afterwards! I've seen all the good things about this group via your blog and think it is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWow - you passed on Honalulu? I'm sure the words "I'M IN!" would have come out of my mouth faster than I could check my bank account.
ReplyDeleteI love how you went running after!! That tour trip sounds like it would be something different to do, I think I would choose that over Hawaii too. : )
