Water Stations at Saturday long run.

On Asia's very first long run with the Running Fit 501 team, back in 2006 Jerry and I raced to the 2-mile water stop to see how things were going. Since we arrived by car, we had some time to kill before the runners arrived, so we decided to make ourselves useful as well as ornamental, and we started filling the cups with water and Ultima and lining them up on the fence. The runners thought that was pretty cool, so we kept doing it. I think Jerry and/or I have made it to almost every Saturday practice since 2006. We love seeing all the runners, playing tunes for them in the summer, and in general being cheer leaders. It's a small thing we can do to help out a team that has done so much for Asia.

These pictures are of 2 of our favorite water stops. The first one with the fence is *the* first one. The other one is at the top of the Arb hill in Ann Arbor.
