10 Miles on a Sunday Morning

But the picture is from yesterday. I had my granddaughters all day. Among other things, like shopping and going out for lunch, we went to my favorite park and played. What a joy it is to be a grandmother.

Except when you are trying to run 10 miles. Just kidding. The ten miles was fine this morning. I incorporated huge hills into this run. I feel good about it.

Except for my little temper tantrum. I wasted at least 4 ounces of water squirting it at a parked car with a bunch of asinine anti-war bumper stickers. Sometimes I wish I carried around stick-it notes to put on cars like that. "you can thank my son later for protecting your right to be a (insert favorite obscenity here, I know which one I like) idiot." yeah, stuff like that. "Bikes not bombs" was one of the most compelling stickers. Yeah, bikes will do an excellent job against people hell-bent on destroying us. Good plan.

Sorry if I have offended anyone. I am not usually flag waving in-your-face... but that car really peeved me.

But I regretted the waste of water later. Jeez. I really must learn to control myself.

Remember it takes all types to make the world go round. I love the members of our armed forces, especially those I had the honor with which to serve. I am less enamored of the idjets that sent them there :-)

Great job, Mary!!

This must have been the weekend of the 10-mile run. I did 10 on Sat, and Nancy did 10, also. :-)

With my son just home from Iraq, I have mixed feelings when I see those bumper stickers. I land that it is a marvelous country in which someone is free to put such a bumper sticker out there.

Yet, I've had less charitable days when I'd have thrown water too.

glad you got a good 10 in with hills!!!
