A Do Run, Run, Run, A Do Run, Run....

Kate & I tackled another weekly long run tonight. We tried on 16 for size & it fit pretty fine. I think Kate is going to bitch slap it at Cleveland. The Cleveland Marathon was my first back in 2002, too.
Here are some random incidents/thoughts from our skipping through the Metro Parks this afternoon/early evening:

- People who like to walk their dogs in the parkway have more than one pooch. Is owning a mere one K9 taboo in 2009? Is it more fun to double your Fido pleasure?

- On the way back, Pearl Road kept moving farther & farther away from us. Nope, we were not just tired, the road got legs.

- A few meters of mud covering the trail can feel like an old school Slip -N-Slide.

- Your food cravings can wildly change from mile 2 to mile 15; the stomach seems to take on a personality of its own.

- After running in a covered area for a long amount of time, the naked sun can make you feel like you are in Jamaica. Ah, Jamaican me crazy with the miles!

And don't forget the random pieces of celery thrown about a few weeks ago! Perhaps someone needed to find their way back home.

Funny observations! You're doing all these miles to help a friend? You rock!
