Four Years Ago I went out for a run on a cold and windy night. I remember sprinting the last few blocks because I wanted to ask out a special girl to go see a Blazers game. It was just a fit of hysteria. I made the phone call and she accepted my proposal for a date. We had a great time and we had great seats. The next day I had planned on running the entire Wild-Wood trail with my friend Kristina. Special kudos to my friend Kristina who made the run with me. She bailed at about 24 miles but she was such a tremendous support.
I got done with the run and the special girl from the game last night showed up at my house (how did she know where I lived) with a nice Pasta Dinner from Beaverton's finest; Ernesto's. It was a lovely surprise and one I did not expect. We eventually ended up getting married. The magic of Ernestos.
Well I am going to be be making the exact same run this Sunday and I am really excited to be in a place (physically and mentally) to make this run. I cherish the memory of that run four years ago and I am hopeful of finishing once again. Ernestos would also be nice.
Disclaimer This is not exactly how it happened. This is how I remember it to the best of my abilities and the 30 minutes afforded me on lunch break.
