Barry & Eileen Rock

Today our training plan called for a twelve mile run. I was a little nervous about their ability to do the full distance. Particularly in Barry’s case since he has missed some other runs and has had problems with our shorter weekday runs. So Barry planned to run out 4.5mi and then turn a round while Eileen and I went on. Instead he ran the whole way with us. We all made the full twelve miles and I am so proud of them. We celebrated by going to Gillies for a great breakfast.

A couple things about Gillies, well really one thing, the waitress was really cute and nice. When we got there she brought us water and menus and after one look at my face knew I needed coffee. She also joined with Barry and Eileen pushing me to drink water by threatening to cut off my coffee supply if I did not drink my water first. I don’t think I have drunk a glass of water so quickly.

Oh yeah, and on the "Today's Specials" board was two drawings of flying pigs. Eileen decided it was a sign. Barry seemed skeptical. I agree with Eileen. Barry - sign up for the marathon now.

Anyway, congrats Eileen and Barry. You rock!!!
