Saturday whilst I was getting to know the House Of Pain ride a bit better and questioning the intelligence of echeloning over a center line on a open road...
Miz C and Little C did the Back To School run here in town, a little run that happens on the same course as the local triathlon the next day, not anything special, except for the goody bags.
This little gem is sponsored by Nob Hill Foods, and the goody bags are , well, full of goodies and specialty foods.
I came home from my happy hundred famished to find a entire kitchen table full of cool morsels, from green tea drinks to cocoa covered almonds, YUM!
A entire box of Minty electrolyte water in the hallway , and this story......
This run also has a great raffle, not as good as the Bidwell Park race, but pretty good.
Miz C had just broken her MP3 player and was in the hunt.
Some major visualization exercises later, the magic number was drawn and the spouse now has a sparkly green Shuffle, very sweet!
But wait, another number is still in the hat for the kiddo, and yes, she drew one too.
The wife sees some discussion up at the table, then she comes back sans Shuffle.
" I decided I already have one at home.... let someone else get a chance....."
another little girl won it and was ecstatic.
I have no idea where the kid gets that nice giving streak, I woulda traded it for bike parts in a minute :-)
Highly impressed.

I've been in that enviable position of being the last in the echelon and refusing to go over the yellow line. I've actually been yelled at from behind to move up in to the sweet spot even though in doing so, I'd have to move out over the line. When I find myself in that spot, I'd rather get dropped than do the wrong thing. Surprising how many don't see it that way. Believe it or not, Saturday was pretty mild.
Your kid is cool.
