4 running PAX came together for a Sunday Funday run. YHC already knew Legz from working at The Hotel Roanoke back in the mid 2000s and a previous post earlier this year, but got to run with a couple others I haven’t gotten to meet before. Got to chat with each of them a bit during the run. Legz, and Freddy Mac both recently did the Blue Ridge Relay and are seasoned runners. Rapino is no slouch, he started doing triathlons 25 years ago. Very inspiring, as he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis 12 years ago, but no way you could tell.
We met up at the Sweet Donkey Cafe near Roanoke Memorial did a nice route around South Roanoke and then into the city. YHC had to relieve himself and cut off into a parking garage. Rapino decided that was a good idea as well and saw that YHC had found a drain to go in and Rapino was impressed by this classy move, as opposed to just using the wall. We made our way back towards Memorial Hospital, and cut through River’s Edge park back to The Sweet Donkey.
6 miles logged and some stayed for coffee. A good time was had by all.
