A few days before I got the bad news, I had made arrangements to go check something out. I had been feeling discouraged about running and thought maybe a little change-up might help.
The checking-out happened on Saturday morning. I was so fortunate that it was gorgeous out instead of cold and windy and rainy...
Sunrise and San Quentin Penitentiary
I had opted to go for a ride in the coach's launch and talk with the coach about the team instead of hopping in a boat. I must confess, the moment I pulled up into the parking lot I started quivering with excitement. While I was glad I had chosen to not row that morning, my appetite was whetted.
A little morning choppiness out on the SF Bay...
...but pretty glassy down by the inlet.
I'm going to row.
At least, I'm going to try it.
Yay! You're going to row! This is awesome Marjorie. Gosh, you just keep going...I love this about you. Can't wait to hear about it.
