Shannan and I went
to exercise in one of the Roswell Parks Saturday. The weather was fabulous. I
decided to run from the park where we started to the neighboring Hembree Park.
Since 2001 I've run at least once a year on the trail at Hembree. Everything
was going perfectly. I recalled many found memories of running and training on
the roads between the parks. Along the way I slowed to read a subdivision
banner congratulating high school graduates. I knew all of them from teaching
in the area. It was nice to imagine the great and marvelous places those
young folks would go in the future.
When I arrived at
Hembree Park I thought back on all the people I ran with there over the years,
including running clubs for students. To my delight I ran into my friend,
Lee. He is probably the person I ran with the most in this very park. Lee
was out walking his dog. We enjoyed a brief chat before I ran back to the
other park. Nearly every reason I run came into play in this one
five miler.
Enjoy the routes. Run.
Tom
