First things first, we had to have breakfast at Clary’s. Longtime readers know we always go to Clary’s. Usually we go multiple times per visit for the delicious breakfast and friendly staff. We are doing all of our dining outdoors this visit, and they don’t have many tables on their sidewalks, but after the briefest wait …
Clary’s is something like 118 years old now. Luther Clary founded it as a drug store. Later it became a soda shop and, eventually, the diner we have today. And it figures heavily into the Savannah lore.
We got a little table overlooking Jones Street. This allowed for the traditional Clary’s photograph.
Here’s the first one, which was from our second visit. This was 16 years ago.
Here’s another visit, and from the same table, this time in 2007.
And here’s a photo from the same table on a 2012 visit.
We go to Clary’s a lot.
We’re not just here for the food this time, of course. There’s a 10K that six of our group of nine are running tomorrow. Anne will be the winner.
She’s a natural born runner. And the rest of the group have been putting up some really nice times in their recent runs. Whereas I … well, to say my recent training has gone poorly would be an insult to poor training. The run is tomorrow and I’m just going to have a nice time and try to not be the last person on the course.
I walked seven miles or so today, though, and that counts as training, right?
