In 2014, I raced Tal Morrison mostly to have breakfast with friends. I saw Kisha for the 2nd race. It was hard not to notice the blonde with Paula Radcliffe movement. Casey and I raced the same age group. We were all about Montreal skate that year. New faces appeared at social skates. Rob was approaching my half-marathon speed. Kurt was crazy fast on wheels. Father was in and out of hospital but seemed destined to live forever. The stock market did so well, I debated whether it was time to pull everything out.
5 years later, Kurt struggled for time to exercise among his obligations. Skating was "something we used to do" for more people. Rob surpassed his sub-3 marathon goal. Casey married Voon and is a Leadville finisher. Kisha didn't know what to do about her foot pain a week before Texas Big Star Half.
I signed up for the race to take advantage of my very first senior citizen discount joining DRC. It's a free race for the members. I would lead a group skate to White Rock after race. I imagined beautiful sunshine.
I caught cold on Tuesday before the Saturday race. I considered racing 5k. Weather forecast predicted unsafe skate. I chose to stay home and binge watch World Pool Masters 2019 matches.
I'm feeling like an idiot for catching cold by not wearing enough cloth doing house work.
9:03am race morning. Plano, TX
