This weekend marks another running event and the first ever race for my wife - a 10-K. Gloria is a little nervous about the event, and trying to convince her that race registration and the 8-K training runs leading up to the race are already an incredible accomplishment, is proving to be an exercise more tiring than a Sunday run.
Regardless of Gloria's lack of enthusiasm for her weekly running improvements, there will be five Chancey's participating in P.E.I. this weekend, some in the 10-K, the others in the half marathon. And while the five of us each represent a different segment of the race pack, from the back to the front, we share at least two things in common - we are runners and we are family.
This weekend isn't about splits or pace, it's about spending time together, sharing in each others accomplishments, and savoring every moment. And no matter where or how we finish, the fact remains five of us will be running.
And that's just cool no matter how you look at it.
