Sept 1 Training Run, Sharks v. Jets

Point-Counterpoint.

Goldberg:
2 months to race day! The weekly training fun run hits the bridle path in Central Park. The cool and dry weather is a welcome change from the august heat and humidity.


Problems arise! On today's run, 6 members en-route to the park from the office must be stuck in the subway- but darkness is approaching so this 4-man crew gets their run on.

Jenny:
A group of 6 runners and walkers embark a journey through the New York City subways. The journey to Central Park was long, riddled with transfers, delays, and stopped subway cars. The frustrated group, with no means of communications while trapped underground, had hopes that the teammates awaiting their arrival would be understanding and possibly still be waiting since they knew the group was en route. Upon being freed from the underground entrapment, they arrived in the park late with high hopes. The fearless group of 6 came upon the meeting spot only to see no one waiting for them.

As disheartening as this was, the group of 6 pressed on to run and walk their share of miles for the day with a positive attitude. Thanks to both groups it looks like the miles for the week will top 40. The late runners apologize for their tardiness and hope that one particular runner from the “punctual group” will stop giving them a hard time.
