Saturday Night Treadmill
Yes, the treadmill is my new best friend it seems. Lose one, gain one I guess.
I only got 50 minutes in this evening, but it was better than a zero! Kept it easy (4.3 mph), but took the incline up to 1.5. It wasn't too bad.
I left the house early this morning (about 6:30'ish) to hang out at Luke's Locker with Bill and Andrew Perry. I watched the Beat runners and I think some of Kim's triathletes take off for an approximately 7-mile run, if I was listening closely. It was a beautiful morning out to run.
I got a chance to also visit with a long-time friend of Bill's, William Banes, and met a gentleman by the name of Ed Thompson - somebody who could give me a run for my money with numbers. (Which is kind of scary!) Nonetheless, a nice, nice guy. [He was sharing with me a story his wife and a Thanksgiving Run Thru The Woods 5M from 2002 and mentioned Susan Rouse's name. So, of course, I had to go find out who his wife was. She was formerly Trudy Regnier. Wait, she still is! Both Susan and Trudy that year were fourth in their respective age groups.]
They had both recently participated - earlier this May - in the 2nd annual Heels and Hills Half Marathon in Irving. Trudy took third in her 50-54 age group with a time of 2:03:41.
The rest of the day was spent to and from Beaumont's Montagne Center on the campus of Lamar University for the first of the many Duke Talent ID State Recognition ceremonies.
The speaker was former Delaware state senator and former City of Beaumont Mayor Evelyn Lord, who shared with the audience that she was 81 and just celebrated her 60th wedding anniversary. A 2005 alumni update on the Boston University web site stated this about her:
And here is the link to the Congressional Record where Ted Poe recognized Lord in the House of Representatives after finishing up her fourth term at the helm of Beaumont's government.
