I met good friends tonight for a 7-mile run at Haw Ridge. 49 degrees, more sunny than cloudy, the lake as smoothing out to glass as the sun set. I’ve been running with this group for two years now, every Tuesday at Haw. For me, the appointment is carved in stone. I plan everything else around it and would rather miss almost any other obligation than this. The reason is simple. Looking back, I doubt I’d be where I am without this group. I smile and laugh the most with them and get to be myself. I’ve lost a lot in the past few years but this is one obvious treasure I gained. Time with these friends is irreplaceable.
