Tonight was fellow Salomon Flight Crew member Ryan Barrett's Winter Solstice Run from 4:43 p.m. to 7:48 a.m. He did loops of approximately 1 hour from the Salomon Store, joined by runners who came by to keep him company.
Simpy, Bugsinteeth, TheMinister and I did our first lap with him at 9:30 p.m., heading from the store into Edwards Gardens and back. Nice, chatty pace sharing stories with each other and with the other runners.
In between laps, we were thrilled to see WandAR who had come out to offer support in the form of home-baked Christmas cookie packages. What a yummy surprise!
TheMinister headed home and the rest of us headed out for lap 2 with Ryan and several other runners. It was getting close to midnight after that and I still had a long drive back to Palgrave, so I switched to Christmas shopping mode while Simpy and Bugsinteeth headed out for a 3rd lap with Ryan. Fun Solstice celebration!
