Mid-October this year we ventured back up to DuNord for an autumn adventure. We rented Thor's and invited 14 of our pals along with us. The weather did not cooperate, with highs in the 20s and stuff that seemed an awful lot like snow falling from the sky. But it did not stop us from getting out. We had a couple lovely hikes, some chilly games of ultimate, and several hot hot saunas capped off by jumps into the 38 degree lake.
One morning I declared I was going to go for a run and asked if anyone wanted to join me. Siena did. And so did Eli. What? I've asked this a lot, and only once did he come with me, about a year ago. That time, we ended up having to run a block, walk a block, and not because of this old lady. Not this time. The three of us did start off together, and we were chatting away. Well, at least Eli was chatting. I was too out of breath. And then he started picking up his pace and moving out ahead. He just kind of took off, never looking back. I bet he was talking to me for quite awhile before he realized I could no longer hear him.
I can't believe I missed the entire 'running with' window. He went directly from kind of slow and not very interested to way too fast. But I did enjoy watching his tall lean form take off in to the woods in front of me.
