The Loyola running club met yesterday at our associate dean's house in Highland Park for a faculty, student, staff fun run and walk. Mike Kaufman and various family members chalked off a 4-5 mile course through the streets, running paths, and beaches of Highland Park and next door Glencoe. The weather was great, the trees aflame, and the houses beautiful. Mike older brother, our alumni director, and I paced the front of the group, Mike paced the bottom of the pack so nobody got lost. We waited here and there so make sure nobody missed a turn. Then the three of us crossed a home made finish line in front of Mike's house and headed in for a delicious brunch set out by various of Mike's family members and late arrivals. I have no idea how long we actually ran but the course record for this now annual event is 48:22. But the real point was a community building exercise and a wonderful time for all. Plus I returned home with some terrific leftovers.
Now back to real races for our group next Saturday with the Hot Chocolate 5K/15K plus brunch.
But more importantly, Good luck to Max at the MCM.
