We participated in the Reveille 5K this morning. We finished in 54 minutes which is about average speed for me…at least that’s what the treadmill tells me. The better-half wore his sandals and the illustrious City of Richmond recently top-dressed the route. We had to stop several times to shake out rocks. If there is one thing I despise is top-dressing instead of real paving. I thought though it was a thing that only rural areas did. I’m glad to know that ritzy neighborhoods have to contend with flying rocks too.
We had two motivators during our walk. One was a kid in a stroller who was screaming–kind of like a dinosaur and the other was a group of people talking about “carving out Sunday afternoon time” for sex. A couple in the group just recently had a baby and apparently they don’t want any phone calls on Sunday afternoon. Again, the things I overhear.
The walk itself was splendid and for a good cause.
My friend was manning the Stephen Ministry booth so we stopped by to say hi and hear her pitch. Sounds like something we should consider for the MIL.
