Shanalin joined only because after Marlin's first 5k, we took him out for breakfast. All she knew was that Shrue, Sharisey, Marlin and I sometimes disappear early on a Saturday morning and that food is involved. She did not know about the 5k between the disappearing and the food part. Elterina is at the table behind.
