Time to Test the Lake

This Friday, MM and MB take on the challenge of the wooded and hilly White Rock Lake, a 9.3 mile loop around Dallas largest urban lake. This "run" represents the biggest challenge to date for our daring plodders, and they go with some fear and trembling. Fortunately, JS will be biking loops around the lake at the same time and has offered, when she has finished her bike ride, to drive her vehicle after the intrepid, but weak joggers and, if they falter, she will carry their collapsing bodies back to their vehicle.

Yet, should we survive this toiling run:

"From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that [runs]with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That [ran] with us upon [this Friday]."
