Just Didn't Have It!

There are days when the miles slip by, and days when you feel like you are stuck on a treadmill, never moving. Yesterday was one of those latter days. Lelia and I both just had one of those days. We were slow. We were tired. We were happy to be done our eight miles. We felt like wimps when all our teammates did 10 miles. But we also didn't quit (we were scheduled for 8 miles not 10 - the others were over-achievers!) It was the first day of May, with temps climbing eventually well into the 80's and while it was not that warm in the morning, it was probably about 80 by the time we finished running. Later in the day, down at the beach, I threw myself into the cold Atlantic, and it felt refreshing. Here are a few photos from training:

Lexi was on last year's spring team, and is now a mom. She came all the way up to say hi to the summer team and to bake us delicious muffins. Nicki enjoys holding little Mason.

The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has been closed for like a year, but had its grand reopening in the morning. It is now the 10th largest art museum in the country in terms of space.

Our route took us northside past the pleasant campus of the Virginia Union University Panthers.
