How about a Saturday Running Commentary Post? For one thing, I went running, which kind of surprised me. I don’t like to run in the rain. I thought I would peek out and if it had stopped raining, I would run. If it was still raining…
Regular readers know I usually do enter.
Full disclosure: I did not run past this particular Do Not Enter sign this morning, although it is one I regularly run by. I just felt that this morning several signs were pointing me away from running, but silly me ran anyways. I suppose I have a contrarian disposition.
Maybe I am not so silly, though, because the first thing I encountered was a delightful puppy named Pugsley, who lives in my neighborhood. I dashed across the street to pet him and to greet his person. He told me what kind of dog Pugsley is, but I forgot. He is tiny and furry and oh, so friendly! He jumped up and wiggled and showed me all kinds of love as I petted him.
“He’s so friendly!” I said. “Well, gotta run!”
“I support that!” Pugsley’s person said (if I ever asked his name, I have forgotten that, too). “Stay warm!”
“You too!”
Of course I couldn’t stay real warm, and I certainly couldn’t stay dry, but I could persevere and continue to run. I even made it up one pretty good hill out Main Street. Imagine my chagrin when I got to the top of the hill and saw a One Way sign pointing in the direction I was going! I’ll have to try going the other way next time.
The rain wasn’t really too downpourish, and it was not freezing rain, so I had that going for me. I did not encounter any more dogs, but I felt it was an OK run. And now I have made what I hope is an OK blog post about it. At least it is a Saturday post made on Saturday!
