Saturday morning was a Shake Out run with Bart Yasso and Deena Kastor. It was seriously a gorgeous day for a run. Bart is such a cool guy.

Deena is a speedy woman! I could not keep up with her.
The first 50 people that arrived got a free gift from Asics. I was number 45. The gift was a cool backpack, an October copy of Runner’s World Magazine (happy about it because I don’t have that issue), a pair of Asics socks (so soft but I gave them to my mom), and a bib holder by FuelBelt.
I stuck around for a little bit and then made my way back to my car. It was about a mile back so I walked slowly while enjoying the sunshine and seeing all of the runners possibly enjoying one last run before the race. And then I saw Joan Benoit Samuelson. I said “No way” because I was surprised that I saw her at that exact moment. However, she was running so fast and my slow legs seriously could not keep up with her.

They will definitely look for me, but then remember that mama went back to work to afford the food and…
That is true. It is a time to also recharge my batteries.
