A breath of fresh air

Will and I did not see any ducks on our run today.  But, he did think the bricks in the sidewalk were railroad tracks.  They were laid out like tracks.

We ran along the Iowa River.  It was a beautiful day.

Another beautiful, sunny, spring day!  I love it.  Will and I spent a lot of time outside.  The run went well AND I didn't feel tuckered out at the end.  But, I still haven't gotten over my cold.  It's driving me crazy!!  I don't have a sore throat any more, but my nose is very, very stuffed.  I drool every time I sleep!  I disgust myself.  What a sloppy sleeper I am!

I am finally caught up again with blogging my runs!!

I ran by a couple guys fishing. One was reeling in a fish as I passed. I was very curious about what they were catching. It looked like a trout to me. (However, I think most fresh water fish look like trout.) So, I turned around and asked. I thought they didn't hear me, so I asked again. The guy said the same thing again. So I figured he must be telling me what kind of fish it was. I asked him to repeat what he said. He repeated it again. I still didn't hear him and by now I am sure I've scared all the fish away. Finally, I got that he said, "A small crappie." "Oh"--I had no idea what kind of fish was. I hurried away to stop from embarrassing myself further. I hope I didn't bother them too much.

I looked up crappie when I got home. Supposedly they are "sought after for their fantastic flavor and fun of catching them." You learn something new every day.

Yesterday I thought I wouldn't run and try to help my sinus infection.  It didn't work.  My head still hurts--bad.

Will and I enjoyed the run despite the pain in my head.

I ran with Erin today.  She stayed up late making cinnamon rolls for her kids to sell at the neighborhood's garage sale.  (Her oldest is almost 4).  I was excited to go and buy some from her kids for  fifty cents each.  By the time Will and I got to the garage sale, the cinnamon rolls were gone.  They had sold out in an hour.
