Highlights:
- Weather held up for golf on Saturday and for the outdoor running portion of Sunday
- Felt strong throughout, passed 8 or 9 runners over the last 20 miles, finished second
- Remembered what its like to travel without children, quietly read a book in the airport during both flight delays
Low-lights:
- 7:00 PM scheduled departure from Newark, 10:30 PM actual departure from Newark, 2:00 AM arrival at Pinehurst, NC
- Very pleasant day of golf with Bill and Marge marred by my inability to play golf competently
- Nature putting that root there to trip me, canceling our Monday golf with random rain & sleet storm
Thanks:
- Thanks to Bill and Marge for hosting me for a long weekend, providing free golf and transportation to / from Greensboro for a random trail marathon
- Thanks to Shannon for letting me escape for a weekend while our house was occupied by 5 children under the age of 8
- Thanks to the weather gods for providing a four hour window of no rain to coincide with the duration of the marathon
