3 mile run at 6:30am.  It was already 89°.  I say already, but the truth is, I don't think it gets much cooler than that at night anyway.  The first two miles weren't too bad.  The last mile was blah!

Check it out.  I almost ran two days in a row!  Almost.  Today was nice.  It was only 81°.  As I ran next to the canal, I saw something alongside the dirt road.  At first I thought it was ducks.  Why do I always think everything's ducks??  The closer I got, the less it looked like ducks, and the more it looked like, I don't know, somebody's work gear or something?  Then I thought, "Is that a body?  No, it has to be ducks!"  Finally I could make out exactly what it was.  A body!  Come on!  How has nobody seen this yet?  Why me?  Please be a hobo sleeping!  Please!  I need you to be a hobo!

Thank goodness that's what it was.  He was laying on his side on top of his yoga mat.  He had a backpack and a bicycle.  His face looked purplish and dead.  But right before I yelled at him, he moved.  So I said, "Good morning!" and startled him.  Another crisis averted.  But wait.  If he's sleeping there, that can only mean one thing.  Somebody else must have beat him to the bench at the magic water fountain.  Yes indeed.  There was another hobo at the MWF.  I decided not to get a drink.  Who knows if he'd been french kissing it.
