Christmastime in Crockett

After a convivial send-off from the French Legation Museum (thanks again to Noel Freeze, its director, for her kindness and enthusiasm for our crazy project), we find ourselves this evening 190 miles north-east of Austin, in Crockett, Texas. We are staying at the wonderful Warfield House B&B, which is a veritable explosion of pre-Christmas cheer:


This is stage running grande luxe! Ten runners will toe the start line tomorrow in Moscow - 4 French, 2 Swiss, 2 American, a Dutch and a German. A leisurely 9:30am start time is dictated by our 7:30am breakfast seating. Quite the vacation!


Thanks again for support received from Rogue Running, Austin Runners Club and the FLM. Our European running guests are having a truly unique experience.
