I Made It!

The rain ended just in time for a great Trolley Run yesterday morning. I was even able to manage a smile for my wife in the ambush photo she took just after the finish. I managed a respectable 28:55 for the four mile course. It was fun to see friends and neighbors along the course. Runners next to me would spot someone they knew and words of encouragement were shouted all along the way. It seemed like every intersection down Brookside Boulevard there was someone who knew someone. It was kind of like being in a parade. It was also interesting to see two candidates for the Missouri Senate 10th take the opportunity to have a presence along the route. Jason Klumb had yardsigns strung along in front of a house in the 6200 block of Brookside Boulevard and stood in the street waving and shouting words of encouragement. Jolie Justus was further down the route and had even more yardsigns and had set up a water station with Justus for Senate plastic water bottles. It was refreshing to see some youth and enthusiasm in local politics. If there is anyone else running for the Senate 10th they missed a golden opportunity.
