    Does Anyone Know Any Really, Really Good Jokes?

    Like Julius Caesar said, “We came, we saw, we had lots of fun.”

    Ok, he really didn’t say that.  We could probably have said the last part about conquering.  But to me that sounds negative.  There isn’t any negativity attached to running a great race.  Setting a goal to finish the race and then doing it.

    We ran the Ancaster Old Mill tonight.  It was great.  Like a family reunion.  I got to see old friends I haven’t seen in … three days.  Not since the Moon in June.

    More importantly,  I got to see the newest bunch of runners coming up through the running ranks at the Runners Den run their very first race. 

    I had promised them a joke at the four kilometre mark.  But as I always say, run your own race.  And we had all decided that was what we were going to do. 

    At the top of the hill heading down we got separated. 

    So I owe them all a joke.  Which I promise I will share with them on Thursday night at the Den.

    What I won’t wait to tell them is how I proud I was of all of them.  We chatted before the race and I asked them if they had a time in mind to do the race.  They looked at me and laughed.  Just finishing is a great start they said.

    Doesn’t it feel great to be able to cross at least one thing off your to do list?  Congrats on a great race!  See you Thursday night!

    A runner for almost two years, Terry recently had the mildly traumatic experience of trying to find a flattering pair of running pants (“Isn’t running about pushing personal boundaries and just getting out there and moving? Except when you don’t look in the least bit like Paula Radcliffe.”). But although she may have been a bit embarrassed by “helpful handsome guy” at the store, she keeps a great perspective through her running experiences. Pushing through a number of injuries early in her running career, she got right back to training for her next race. “The feeling of elation when I crossed the finish line is unimaginable,” says Terry. Sounds like she’s hooked for good!
