Hare Creek, JSF Road 400

"Just as you write down other important appointments, you need to literally pencil in time for your run.  The process is empowering.  In the few seconds it takes to scribble "run" into a time slot, you make running a part of your life."-- Jeff Galloway

 It was another brisk, 35 degree, but clear morning along the coast.  We ran and walked Jackson State Forest Road 400, where the sun probably doesn't shine ever in the winter and the road is covered with loose rock that I heard described as marbles.  What's not to like about that!

Actually, we all had fun and it was really neat because another new person, Donna, joined with us.  Thanks, Barbara, for bringing her along.  Also present this morning:  Cindy, Jim and grandson Benjamin, John (thank you for the photos!), Rod, Charlene, Ron, Geri, Fran, Dorothy, Nancy B., Rick, Toni, Joe, Faye, Zelda, Nancy T., Roger, Nancy and Tom (22).



As Roger said last week, about half the reason for getting up this morning, would be to eat breakfast.  Eat we did, just as at all of our Fog Dodger potlucks, we had plenty of delicious food and for a bonus, we had our annual cookie exchange.  It was a fun morning and now we must walk or run another mile to burn a few calories.
