CRC Pasta Party Recap

Last week I saw on the E-newsletter (what became of the telephone?) from the Charlotte Running Club that there would be a pasta party Friday night at Rebecca and Corbett Tomassons' house. First of all, it was awesome and thanks to the hosts for their generosity. I had only met them one other time about 2 years ago at another party at Jason Philbin's house (can you guess what we were doing?). Of course, we were watching the 2008 Womens' Olympic Marathon (shocking!). I brought my kids and we stopped at the Teeter and picked up some goodies and headed over before 8pm. They live by the 500 meter mark of a very popular Charlotte workout course for interval/repeats which is pretty cool. The food was great and plentiful (stuffed shells and pasta) and they had a trampoline for the kids. Saw a couple of familiar faces (John Compton who just ran a 53 minute ten miler in Washington, Ben Hovis who also just ran 53 minutes at the same race, Jay Holder who was having his last meal in Charlotte before he was heading up to Boston for some race he would be running on Monday) and definately a lot that I have not met yet. I stuffed myself, enjoyed the company, and still got my kids home before 9:30pm (Hey, it's a lot for me just to get out!). I'll hope to be at the next one and thanks again to the Tomasson's...
