The Tennis – Running Dilemma


I have played tennis for years and have many friends that I have met through tennis.  We do lots of things together.

heading out to see a play

Then I discovered running.  My love for running surpassed my love of tennis.

Usually I can fit them both in.

First:

a run in Chestertown

and then:

MANY sets of doubles

So this weekend is Tennis Ladies at Schroon River.

our group last summer

It will be a lot of fun.  I plan to run AND play tennis!!

Now here’s the BIG DILEMMA:

Every year, I go to the US Open.

Me & Catalina

This year, I have tickets for Wed, Aug 29.  It is always a good time. You get to see all the GREATS playing tennis (in person.) I hope to even watch my favorite guy play:

Roger. ❤

Several weeks ago, I submitted my story for this:

And I got an email that I was one of the 25 selected to RUN WITH JOANIE!!!

In Albany on Wed, Aug 29!!  (Yeah, right?! What are the odds??)

Sooooooooooooooooo what do I do?

I tried to find someone to buy my US Open ticket.  No success!  I don’t want to waste $98!!!

But I want to RUN WITH JOANIE!!!

See we wore the same color bib.. and we’re around the same age…she’s a little faster!! LOL

Happy Running! What would you do if you were me?

  1. If by “Joanie” you mean Joan Benoit (first womens olympic marathon winner) then you are CRAZY IF YOU DONT RUN WITH HER. My goodness I would be there in a SHOT.

    If it’s some other Joanie….never mind….sorry.

  2. My same dilemma. I follow rugby but I love running. I always buy the most expensive tickets to watch the matches from the best seats. My decision is (was): I can follow Italy 3/4 times per year but I can race every week (and more) so I prefer rugby.
    Good luck with your decision.
    …and remember, Joanie can join you another time but, please, don’t forget to send her your race calendar.
