I realized recently that I've been running with the Mystic Runners running club for over a decade and I just have to say that I appreciate the group more and more the longer I run. Runners are a funny bunch: they can have wildly different careers (anything from Dog Rescue to General Manager of the 99), be very different ages (have made friends with runners from 22 to 75), have different goals (some train for races, others look for dates), and have had very different experiences (usually quite harrowing back stories that make you appreciate why they run). I never get tired hearing stories from other runners. Looking forward to an exciting year and more experiences from everyone, including myself!
