The Athletes: Anne & Joe

 

The Athletes

Hanging out with Anne Wood and Joe Sirois is joyous. Yesterday, over coffee and treats, we chatted about life and living, healthy habits and food recipes, movies and books, yesterdays and tomorrows. 

I'm not sure how many octogenarians on our planet you could ask, "When's your next race?", and get an immediate answer: "September 17th," said Anne. "Five k." (Did I get the date right, Anne?) 

Last week, Bailey and I happened to meet these two athletes striding through Swift River Park. Anne wore a stop watch around her neck to keep track of pace. Joe wore his marathoner's gaze (he's completed 28 marathons...yes, the 26.2 mile kind). Please let this be me in 12 years. 

Here's to lives well lived... to Anne and Joe.
