As I pull up to a place I’d never been to before, for a race I’d never run before the first person I see (and just happen to be parked next to) is Diana. We met 4 years ago at the Holyoke St. Patty’s Day race. I put our photo on my site back then and so now I’m doing it again.Â
She really helped make the day fun as we talked about running and races and carbo loaded with the wonderful taste of the Rapscallion Brew that was flowing during such a beautiful day.
 Â
This was an out and back type of course. As I turned at the mid point Bob (far right) came up behind me and told me we had met in the past and he, also, had been pictured on my site. I love the world of running because of times like this.
  Â
The sun and mother nature came through beautifully that day. Everyone there was able to have just a great time.
 Â
And there were many toasts to the day, the cause, the people and the friendships new and old. And it was all provided to us by wonderful Damon Family and their Hyland Orchard.  Check out the next 3 entries and see some of the people that were there joining us.
