Best running experience: I ran down to the coffee shop where our running club meets on Saturday mornings to do the group run - I hadn't been in a couple of years, but I thought it might be fun. Well, after about half a mile it turned out EVERYONE was doing walk breaks, and I didn't want to, so I turned around to head home and pick up my mp3 player so I could listen to my audiobook, and along the way a guy hailed me and said that he had shown up too late for the running club but he'd seen me veer off when everyone started walking, and if I was doing a longish run could he come with me?
It turned out that he lives in Chicago but was down here visiting his daughter. We had a great run together, saw a bunch of deer along the path including a group of young bucks and a doe with what must have been a fairly recently newborn fawn, all tiny and covered in spots.
