Merry Christmas!  J. Loomis

It was one of those mornings when everyone was chomping at the bit, wanting to get started, just a little bit early.  It was 45 degrees but with a stiff breeze that I'm sure brought brought the wind chill factor down to 20 or so!  Anyway, we did get going and it was great to find three new people joining our ranks.  Thanks to Fran, for bringing Kathy, to Suzanne and Henry for bringing Marlin, and to Ron LeValley for mentioning our group to Diane.  Hopefully, they all can come back often.

Also present today, and I apologize if I miss someone:  Dorothy, Nancy T., Roger, Linda, Tom T., Neil, Geri, Cheryl, Charlene,  Nancy B., Rick, John, Bob, Melissa, Nichole, Joel, Shari, Peter, Toni, Joe, Orah, Steve, Nancy and Tom (31).

Once we got up the road a bit, we were out of the breeze and it was a beautiful, but still very dry, winter morning.  This is, I believe, the driest year (at this point) in history.  It is strange to come home after each run with dusty shoes, rather than muddy ones.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everybody!  We hope that 2014 brings you happiness, health and lots of fun.   I also hope that you return week after week, to join with the Fog Dodgers on our runs and walks.  It's a great way to start your day!  We really do have a wonderful and very diverse group of people.

For anyone wanting to join us for our Tuesday or Thursday run, please note that until the end of January, the start time has been moved to 7:15.
