It's a small, small world...
Faced with a busier than average day, I decided to drag myself to a 5:45 spin class this morning.

As I was bent over adjusting my bike, another rider (whose daughter has played soccer with the TQ) walked in with a guest. The guest introduced herself to the teacher as, "Janice".

I looked up. The woman's guest was her sister, currently living in California.

The sister and I had gone to the same high school and both did field events for the track team.

One season.

TWENTY years ago.

In Germantown, Tennessee. I lived in Germantown less than a calendar year, but remembered Janice who was someone who was kind to me, offering training pointers and rides to meets and practices.

And, despite being an all star/all state athlete who was a senior when I was a sophomore (and not an outstanding athlete at ALL), she remembered me, too.

It (kind of) made hitting the gym (as opposed to the sack!) worth it.

How very cool, Heather! Daniel and I did a spin class not long ago and I about died!! I definitely don't think that's something I'd like to do at 5:45AM...in fact, there isn't much I like to do that doesn't involve shut eyelids at that hour!

Good for you getting up so early for that! I've got to get back to the Y soon. I went the first day of school, and by Wed. Boo was sick. Never fails. I'll be asking if my MIL can watch her a few mornings a week soon.

Very cool about seeing an old friend like that.
