Emily is All Wet

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

It was 50 degrees and wet. Emily came rolling down the grass hill a minute before 5:30 to introduce herself, ask permission to be here, and thank us. Who is Emily – IYKYK, or IYKYSDK. Emily was high on life, and moseyed herself towards the owl, whooing in the gloom, never to be seen again. Maybe the wise old owl was Emily, or maybe Emily was our inner minds flexing to bring comfort to our bodies while we voluntarily choose to exercise in the cold, wet, rain. Emily will remain a mystery. Sorry Treblemaker, you were a minute late to what could have been. But we digress. It’s NYC Marathon week (Sun 11/2). In the spirit of the 40 yr old, 115lb marathon GOAT, known as Eliud Kipchoge, who is running NYC for the first time, 8 Pax came to flex their running skills with a little luck of the dice and lot of wetness. Gotta get ready for the Turkey Trot.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
I close my eyes. Only for a moment, and the moment’s gone. All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity. Dust in the wind. All Emily was, was dust in the wind.
