Isn’t it funny how some food you’d never consider for post-race sustenance is the best thing you’ve ever tasted? After my 50M a million years ago, my non-runner friends made a pot roast dinner (😳) to celebrate. I’m not even a meat eater but that salt and fat was just what I needed. I can still taste it.

Hi Julie B. Hughes! Thanks for the images today of your cheer squad after the race. Nothing beats family. I’ll be Zooming at 11:00 today and am looking forward to seeing all in virtual attendance. 🌞

Thanks Julie B. Hughes. I sent you a message (email) about my struggle with Zoom. I could not hear your voice and the name tag that is usually below my image was non-existent. I discovered that Zoom decided I was driving a car and blocked both audio and video. I learned afterwards that Zoom is associated with Microsoft. I don’t have a functioning M/S email address but it appears I need to set one up. Apple is your OS, so I don’t think they would be tied in with Zoom! I’ll set to work to be Zoom-able asap!

Hi Gary, I didn't see your email, my apologies. That is so strange. I did mute everyone, though, when we started writing. (was that why?) Hope you get it straightened out and if there is anything I can do on my end let me know.

Still a mystery to me. I could not hear you giving a writing prompt, or during the half hour “stretch and be photographed part” either. Who doesn’t love a mystery! All the best, Julie B. Hughes.
