The best part of marathon training

Sunday brunch with friends: runners and spouses both. Today's menu?
Orange marmalade soufflé, raisin bran muffins, eggs with smoked Gouda,
sausage and basil, fresh melon with mint and Cointreau glaze, banana
cake with cream cheese frosting, and mimosas with fresh-squeezed
orange juice and perfect champagne. And the company of the best summer
clique ever: Eric, Eric M, Burt, Kyle, Erin, and Sherpa Scott. If your
day didn't start this way, I'm sorry.
