Trading the 3rd for the 4th

Knowing where you are going is really nice, but this morning I appreciated that not knowing where I would be can also be a fun journey. Today was the Fourth of July Music City 5K/10K and GBC Paige and I attended in support of GBC Kim and Tim who ran the course. We, in our haste, had neither ownership of nor had reviewed the course map so it was a bit of an adventure to follow our fellow friends around their path.

We managed to catch them just in front of the fountains over the Woodland Street bridge and view them from afar on Commerce. (The folks at Panera were slightly interrupted by chants for our fellow book-clubbers). No neon lights on Broadway, but we were happy to get in our last words of cheer before the finish line. Well done to Kim and Tim, and be on alert that you may be approached to participate as part of a team run this fall.

My advice: occasionally, don't pick up a map and see how the day unfolds.
