Since I live in the city, it isn't easy to find paths where you aren't fighting traffic and you're not on concrete sidewalks. There is a great route with a bike lane. I was running this route today. I was approaching a group of 4 cyclists. I always move to the edge of the bike lane when I come upon bikes. The lead woman in this group informed me this was a bike lane not a pedestrian lane. Can't we all just get along? Do you know how many times I dodge bikes on the sidewalk, where they are not suppose to be? So I responded to her by saying, do you really want to get into this? And kept on running. It was a good run. Next Sunday a women's only 5k. 

I went for a lunch run with a collegue and it was absolutely wonderful. All of my aches and pains didn't seem to matter. It was so great being outside, sun shining and warm air all around. Who cares that we ran slow. We had a great conversation about cooking, eating and spices. Running on days like today make everything seem better. My woes from yesterday are simple tasks today; there seems to be a silver lining around everything. This is whiskers on kittens and puppies in baskets, over the top sap, but I feel good.
