In this case I talk about being injured, unfortunately. But it happens. I also talk about attending the NCAA National Championship Track & Field Meet at Historic Hayward Field, which also happens. Both are enlightening. Running early Tuesday morning with the Big Timber Running Club that I am a part of I rolled my ankle. I felt the “click,” felt the pain and might have even heard the “click.” We were out on the trails at Mt. Pisgah and I was not watching where to place my feet when it happened.

The group still meets up on Saturdays now as most of the fine folks are retired. They lead the way and I look ahead with curiosity. Good luck to Cleven! After Christmas we went up to Seattle and took my brother to IKEA to get a new chair.…
