Go, you chicken fat, go away!

I didn't really have a plan for today.  I thought I would just start running and decide how far to go.  I saw Gordon again.  Then I saw another guy walking his dog.  When I got to the Canal I crossed paths with two runners.  One is the old man I see all the time.  He looks so slow, but he's probably faster than me.  Then right before I got to University I saw an old man walking with his fishing gear.  I told him that he's not supposed to fish in this canal.  He asked why.  I told him because they stock their own fish here.  He said SRP has never had a problem with him before.  I told him that this isn't an SRP canal.  It's RWCD.  He said that he just catches and releases and they never have a problem with him.  I said that I don't think they like that.  I was trying to be nice, but he was getting snippy with me.  I don't blame him.  It's they typical conversation I have with people that are fishing where there are clear signs that say NO FISHING.  Anyway, I kept going and saw the guy walking his dog again.  I also saw the hobo again.  This time I told him what time it was before he could ask me.  Right before I got to Adobe I ran into my wife again.  I asked where she was going because I didn't want her going by the hobo even though he's probably harmless.  She was just going down a little ways so she could get 5 miles in.  Then when I got to Adobe I saw a zanjero and totally tattled on the fisherman.  It felt like a douche move, but he shouldn't have been snippy with me.

I took too many days off.  But I'm kind of dieting again.  Well, I'm trying to eat less.  Anyway, I stretched out and felt pretty tight.  I started running and as soon as I got to Adobe I saw my wife.  Knowing she hadn't been gone very long and seeing her walking in the direction back home, I asked her what's up.  She said she was going back to get the girls so they could walk together.  I showed a public display of affection and continued on my way.  I saw a handful of other runners out.  One was approaching Adobe from the south as I was approaching from the north.  There is a 4 foot wide opening in the chain link fence.  Right next to the opening is a vertical pole, then another opening, but this opening has a horizontal pole about a foot above the ground so you can step or jump over it.  We both reached the fence at the same time and he decided to jump over the pole.  At the same time I think he put his hand out for me to give him five, but I didn't realize it in time.
