You may wonder what some of us fencers do other than fencing. Well, we like to run, so Gary Daniels (our pentathlete), Julie Austin and myself participated in the Women Running Wild 5k on March 20. And we run pretty fast. Gary ran the 3.1 mile course in 19:52, Julie in 33:44 and me in 29:06.
Wishing blissful fencing to all,
