Pelagic Beer & Wine is a bottle shop on the edge of our neighborhood, and they have a run club whose runners run by our house every Monday between 6:15 and 6:30.
We’ve been cheering them on with a happy hour in our front yard for just a little over a year now, and our crowd of neighbors and friends has grown exponentially — from 4 or 5 people at the beginning, to over 40 last week. I’ve blogged about some of the more recent ones.
This past weekend (on 10/11/25) Pelagic had a block party, and I had these shirts made, which we wore to the party.
It was so much fun watching people glance at our shirts and see their faces light up when they realized what it was.
We met and chatted with many of the runners attending the party, and everyone was so appreciative. It was an incredibly affirming afternoon.
