Good it worked... I've completely disgusted at least one viewer...

Bare shirted run with co-workers to Tennis Academy via Hogle Zoo. Otherwise, you should probably be arrested.

Chad, You always spoil my fun. There actually was an elephant standing by the fence sticking his trunk over traying to get some hay. Not too many days that you get to say you saw an elephant on your run.

Great run today. Thanks for bringing some extra people.

Does your naked mean no shirt or no watch? My naked runs are no watch.

From Adam RW on Sat, Jul 12, 2008 at 22:53:02

Jon, Good catch. In this case it meant no watch/garmin.

I was guessing that, since you didn't list a time (and you are normally a GPS-time slave!)
