Didn't want to - but dragged myself out of bed and ran this morning.  The wind wasn't quite as bad today.  On my return  my shoulders were stiffening up from cold. But I saw a runny babbit hippity hopping down the bunny trail.

I went the other way on the freeway path today and my turnaround point was behind a Little Caesar's factory.  I about lost the breakfast I hadn't eaten from the smell.  It's a good thing I don't eat Little Caesar's anymore.

 

Later - when we got finished working today it was nice and sunny (but cold) out.  My boss decided to take a nap and I ran another 4.2 miles.

Good girl for getting out there! You will be happy to come home, the weather here is beautiful!

Pizza made you sick? I love that smell. I am sure that heaven smells like cinnamon rolls and pizza!

GOOD JOB and we are glad you are coming back to the great fall weather we are finally having!

Kelli - this was not really pizza. Imagine the smell of tons of cheap pizza sauce with tons of cheap dried herbs - the air was saturated with that. It was not cooked pizza - but where they mix up the ingredients for the stores.

Those puppies are really cute. I went to your other blog and enjoyed reading your thoughts on running.

Thanks, Cheryl. I'll have to give your blog a look see.

Okay, then, I see why that would not smell so great!
