| | This weekend we took a short trip up to my home town of Kingman, AZ. My sister wanted me to bless her baby, which I was happy to do. She's no longer active in the church, and her husband is not a member, so you know, no pressure. But I think it went all right. I got to see some old friends. I even saw inactive blogger Kerry Herbine. When I first met him on the blog, he wasn't a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Now he is, and that makes me happy.
Although it was nice to get out of town and see family, I ate more junk food than I should have. I gained about 6 lbs. this weekend. Blah. That may be why I didn't feel like getting out of bed this morning. But I did. I started running, and felt more blah. Wasn't sure if I would just do one loop today, but I decided I could do two. When I got to University to head north on the Floodway path, I saw a young, maybe late 20's, Latina who was getting her headphones and stuff ready to start running. Her friend was about 200 feet up the path. There was also the old lady I passed last week. And finally, there was the biscuit buyer. I caught up to the second Latina and was closing in on the old lady, but then I caught up to the biscuit buyer, with the sausage biscuit in the brown paper bag. I decided to stop and ask him what the hobo's name is. Jeff. We talked for a couple of minutes. Maybe only one. The first Latina ran by me. Then I wished him farewell and ran by the hobo, but I didn't say anything to him. I passed the old lady up, then I almost got to the second Latina, but she started running. She only ran for a little bit, so I was able to pass her. I wondered if I would pass the first Latina, but she was running about the same pace I was, so I never caught her. I turned at Adobe and saw Sis. Spencer running pushing her two-kid stroller. I didn't check the temperature, but if felt cooler than it has been lately. My last half mile was a lot faster than my first two miles. Did I catch my breath after talking to biscuit buyer? Was I subconsciously trying to catch the Latina? I guess I'll never know.
