A breath of fresh air

Will and I had a very enjoyable run, except for the mile when I had to wait to use the restroom.  We ran the hospital route and then added on an extra mile on the trail to get the run to six miles.

Today Will and I ran the route that goes behind the high school.  I can't tell how much Will loves pointing out the bridges.

Will:  Bridge?  Bridge?

Me:  Should we go find a bridge?

Will:  Yeah.

We have that conversation a lot.  Even after we've just passed over a bridge, we have that conversation.  And he always seems to know when we are on a trail that might have a bridge.  Also when we drive he points out every bridge and overpass.  He has amazing eyes and can spot a bridge any where.  Sometimes I have to look a while to find the bridge he's talking about.

On the route we ran today, there is one bridge that leads away from the direction we are going, but we go run over it anyway--just for fun.  After we run over it, we turn around to run back over it and head back to our route.  We have added this bridge to our run four times that it is now become a part of the "behind the high school" route.

Will and I ran on more trails today.  We saw three different violet wild flowers.  One of these days I'll remember to bring my camera and take a picture.

Will and I ran 3.5 to the store in the morning to pick up some black curling ribbon.

I ran 7 miles in the evening with Erin.  We talked mostly about our kids.  Erin's kids love the vacuum.  Her one year old is always trying to hug it, where as Will is still very concerned every time I vacuum.  But, he is better than he use to be.

I can't shake my cough.  Oh, well.  That's life.  I ran with Erin again.  Erin was very kind and listen to my talk about the planning of my class reunion.
