We were talking to a couple people post stadium stair sprints and relay races… during coffee and bagel connection time. Some newbies wanted to know the story of how this all started. It’s hard to believe it was more than 2.5 years ago that we started pledging in January 2017. We reflected back to that time when 4 of us ran around the Arboretum, slushy and wet and cold. Yet every Wednesday, we finished up with a photo, we gave each other hugs and talked about how cool it was to be working out together, and how fun it was to be together in the dark and cold. We will never forget those moments.
We can truly say that every Wednesday, Liz and I continue to say how amazing the morning was, in its own unique way, because of the people who show up, the people who come back, the new people who show up. Still, we find every Wednesday, we can’t believe how lucky we are. We are blown away that every Wednesday, we have this community we can depend on, that we rely on. Every Wednesday we exchange a text after we part ways and share one moment that stands out to us, of what went well, what we could do better, what flopped, but mostly, how grateful we are that this is in our life and that you are all in our life. Post Wednesday mornings is a cool feeling.
We hope you walk away from Wednesday mornings with something with you, that takes you forth on your day and rest of the week. Know how much you give us when you show up. So thank you for that. Thank you for sharing your morning, your time and your energy with us.
We are glad you are here. Here’s to bringing “soles” together
