I didn't have time to run very far today.  But I did run a little this morning when I was at work.  I'll just count the miles from the afternoon run.  It was just before 4pm and the middle school was getting out.  I passed a couple of girls in the cross walk and one of them said, "Do you like running?"  I said, "I love running.  I'm going to marry it."  I'm pretty sure I freaked them out.  They must've been related to Lily.  Then I passed this nerdy looking kid who was talking to his friend.  Everyone has been taking the AIMS tests here this week and last.  He said, "There was this one problem on the math that I wasn't sure about.  I don't know if you had the same test as I did..."  That's all I heard, but I thought, "That nerdy kid is pretty cool in my book."

Pace - 8:44

Temp - 90°.

good job typing the degree symbol.

allie - I'm trying to leave a small carbon footprint by not typing it all out like you did.

guilty.

my social irresponsibility is spread all over this blog.

I'm just relieved you didn't ask any of them if they wanted to feel your sweaty pockets.

Hot* run! (*this would be a degree symbol if I had one I could use).

From Burt on Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 17:38:20 from 72.223.82.180

I've got one you can use QP.

From The Quiet Pirate on Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 18:40:28 from 71.49.52.217

I thought sharing degree symbols and other infrequently used punctuation was frowned upon. I wouldn't want you to catch any extra heat and end up in hot water. ۥ:

"I love running, I'm going to marry it!" That cracks me up! You are too funny Burt.
