Actual conversation via email

Angie: Wolf River Trails are closed until the flooding subsides. The Wolf River is rising and parts of the nature area are underwater. Is -- WAS -- this part of Saturday's run? Where exactly will we be having this little party anyway?


George: Looks like we need to reroute. I know there are some nice hills around Walnut Grove Lake subdivision. And I checked the schedule - silly me thought it was a 14 miler. Nope. 15. Lucky one and all.


Angie: No hills.
"Nice" and "hills" can't be in the same sentence. DISTANCE or HILLS. Pick one. I'm trying not to get freaked out at 15.


George: Then break it down into smaller bits. 3+3+3+3+3. Or 5+5+5. But remember, what goes up (hills) must come down (hills). Hence the "nice" part.



Angie: OK... 1+1+1+1+1.....Are we stopping for lunch?



George: As long as we finish by 5:07 pm.
