Filled up the car today with friends - both new and not so new. Drove to the summit (and saw the herd of goats again). Ran into an awful lot of familiar faces and knew many of the runners at the summit. This is where I belong. We runners did our workouts - some of us our last summit workout before the race, others of us just because we wanted the challenge and our friends were there. All of us sharing energy, smiles, laughter and encouragement. And once those workouts were done some went back down the trail with shovels and picks to clean up the trail for next weekend's races. Other's of us stuck labels on race numbers. Almost every table in the Summit House was filled with runners with green and yellow bibs and sheets of labels. We laughed and we shared stories and coffee and we built red blood cells, too.
It was a foggy morning but I finally remembered my camera. Couldn't have been a better day to remember. Nothing like spending the morning among friends and fellow runners. I belong here, I know that!
