The "Fly"-By Girls

Ha ha ha - I just completed a 3 mile loop around work and I have to share this story. I was speaking to some of my old Fly Friends about doing TNT as some of them had recently completed some races and were sharing tips with me about FUNdraising (Note: I put the FUN in fundraising as a reminder - as I grit my teeth - about how fun this should be...more on that to come...). I then took off to go out on my own since I couldn't do the Buddy Run today (kid obligations, you know).

As I'm on my way back to the office but who should do a FLY-by but some of the Fly girls! They were on their way to get a treat and offered me a ride. There are so many reasons why I should have joined them:
  1. They were on their way to get fro-yo (YUM!)
  2. I was hungry
  3. There were only three of them so an extra seat was available - no worrying about squishing someone
  4. My new shoes may be developing a hot spot in my right heel so I wasn't feeling the run
  5. I was hungry
  6. I'm a self-proclaimed Big Pansy - as Mr. J would affectionately say
  7. Did I mention I was hungry?

It was oh so tempting to just hop into the car with them...but you know what? I didn't. :)

Thanks for the cheers, girls!

Good job Chris! I think I might have given into the temptation!

It was good froyo, too! Next time, we may just have to kidnap you. We can leave you in San Carlos and make you run back if you need some extra excuses!

Actually, good for you. Glad to hear you're runnin'!
