Here's another picture from Saturday.  Pretty bad when I creep out my own daughter.

And check out Julie's blog.

Nice easy run.  Not much to say except that there was a lot of sweat involved.  However, when I took my chonies off, I noticed that there were two dry spots right where my cheeks go.  It was so cute that I almost took a picture.

Good luck to everyone running Boston!

Whenever I run this loop I go right by the alternative high school with the troubled teens that are out smoking and doing whatever it is little gang babies do.  When Julie and I ran the loop I took her up the canal to bypass these hoodlums.  Nevertheless, I have to believe that there is still hope for them.  That's why I make sure to tell them good morning every time I run by.  Some day they'll look back and say, "I don't know who it was, but this guy used to say good morning to me all the time.  He gave me hope when no one else would."

 This morning I saw a little black and white bunny hopping around in someone's yard.  You know how I feel about bunnies.  I knew it had to be a pet, but it seemed odd that it would be hopping around the front yard with the gate wide open.  So I went to investigate.  I decided to up and knock on the door.  Then I saw a orange and white bunny hiding in the bushes.  Maybe they're trained to stay in the front yard?  But even if the gate wasn't open, the could squeeze right through the wrought iron, right?  Well, I chickened out on knocking and turned around and left.

Tonight I'm volunteering for the Third Thursday Adventure Run.  By this time next month I should be getting some new shoes :)

Oh, don't go to this blog.  Nothing to see there.
