Just realized that I started my blogging on Monday when my first run this week was Sunday.  I'm so used to leaving that day blank.

 Anyway, this is really Wed's run.

I ran a little over 3 miles and met the fam at Dairy Queen.  Nothing like running for ice cream...

Witnessed a near collision between a dog and a car.  The dog would have lost.

Guess who the dog was chasing?

Easy pm running.  Originally planned on am, but I ran Sunday evening, and my body complained when the alarm went off.

I have not missed XC at all.  In fact, I have secretly celebrated my decision every day that I have walked out of school and XC is in the throes of practice.

BUT I did get a little teary-eyed when a runner came to my room between classes and handed the 1.5 foot high wooden XC sign with my name painted on it.  He thought I'd like to have mine before they got ready to paint over last year's athletes with the current crop.

He was right.

They are filming a Jimmy John's commercial at my school today.  How random.

3 easy miles.  Nothing remarkable at all.
