Still at Big Bend here, session one ended this morning, two starts tomorrow.

So session one....we knocked it out of the park. If one of the participants says "so is there some way we can give you a review so other people will want to do trips with you, because this was awesome" and then goes on to tell you all the great things they think about it/us, I think that's a pretty good sign. It was fun, everyone raved about the things we saw, places we went, food we served, the organization and communication throughout - I am on cloud 9. They all left this morning, we drove down and paid $2 each for showers (which felt amazing), then drove up to the visitor center area in the mountains, where it's about 20 degrees cooler than the desert, plus a pretty strong cell signal. We're just hanging out here for a couple hours checking the internet and trying to post some pics, then will get a few groceries and head to our camp site tonight. Tomorrow morning we start again with a new group, then head home Sunday.

I have not run at all, and I doubt I will until after we get home. It's a lot of work out here even though it's fun. My cold is finally getting better at least, so I'm less exhausted at the end of the day.

I skimmed the last few days threads, but I don't remember enough to comment.

Karen, nice work on the Big Bend trip!

Damaris, enjoy WFH for the next two days.

HCK, nice run.

I don't think I checked in here at all while on the east coast over the weekend.  The trip went well.  Met up with my niece in Brooklyn on Friday night, where she's directing a small show in a local theater.  Took the train down to Philly on Saturday, where I met up with Lisa and her S/O for a trail marathon on Sunday.  There were thunderstorms the night before, but race day was good weather.  Cathy Morgan, who used to post on RA a long time ago (can't remember her screen name), stopped by the race starting area to say hi.  She lives near there now.  One bit of excitement when a massive tree fell on the trail inbetween me and the woman in front of me.  Good thing I was not faster!  Here we are before the race. German theme, maybe because Germantown is next to the park.

Karen, so excited for you that your trip was such a hit.  Hope the next goes just as smashingly!!!  Saw some pics on FB.  Put those running kicks away and enjoy the moment.

Damaris, enjoy the RD.

Kathi, I really should do some strength.  Good workout today.

Margaret, huge YIKES on the tree.  Wowza.  Glad it was good though.

Lori, I certainly hope your HVAC was cheaper than mine, that bloody sucked donkey balls.  5 days, woot woot.  I miss London, such a neat city.

12 miles today.  I did todays (6 mi) and yesterdays (6 mi.)  It has been a challenging few days.  Work yesterday was draining.

Not alot else.  Came home from my run and put on my PJs.  When I had enough water, I switched to wine.  ME???

Tomorrow is my last day at the relief clinic.  Please let the new place be tolerable.

Lori, I didn't eat or drink for a year!  HAH!!  You're up, whatcha got...  Out do me girl, out do me!
