chance

14 mile run in Barton Creek yesterday.  I started at 6am and did Rudy's and then got back on the main trail headed towards the dam.  As I neared the dam I called Misty knowing she may be close by as she was hiking with a friend.  Sure enough they were very near the bottom of the hill so I told them I'd wait for them. They made it to the dam in just a few minutes and as we were chatting Jim B came around the corner.  We greeted each other and I asked if I could join him.  Of course he said yes.  We ran for 2hrs thru the inner trails, Panty, Shady etc.  It was a very nice change of pace not having run those trails since he, Sam and I ran together a couple of years ago.  At the 3hr mark I wanted to finish alone so I told Jim to go on by himself.  He understood and we bid farewell.  What a great chance encounter that was!!
