An evening in Happy Valley

Just got back from a nice dinner at Ruby Tuesday's with the boys ... and Hopkins.

Great to see Marist Running Alum Sean Hopkins, now an assistant coach with the stellar women's program at West Virginia. We sat at the bar and had our dinner in the crowded restaurant, catching up on a lot of running-related stuff.

The trip to the restaurant was very interesting. We got in the van for the "drive" to the restaurant, only to realize that it was literally next door to the hotel. So, I basically did a useless loop on a few roads before parking the van ... back in the hotel lot from whence we came.

FYI: Two years ago, this meet was canceled due to a freakish snowstorm here in Happy Valley. It is quite mild out tonight, but the forecast tomorrow morning is for thunderstorms. Hmmm.
