Entertainment

Oh gosh. Tuesday's run was hysterical. The first mile at least.

Lots of people wear iPods when they run. I don't anymore. I like to talk to Mike and hear the sounds around me as I run. Sometimes it can get boring, but most of the time there is always something there to entertain you.

Tuesday's entertainment lasted a good half mile. We had just turned a corner when we saw a full grown man ahead of us chasing a skateboard across the road. He caught it, picked it up, got to the opposite sidewalk, and started riding it. Now this guy had to be in his 20s easy. He had big baggy pants and a big white sweatshirt. And, from what we saw, it looked as though he was trying to learn how to ride a skateboard.

He got on the board, and with his first push, fell off, and started chasing it. At this point, we were both giggling. Mike commented that he would probably look just like that if he tried to skateboard again. But this guy was doing it. In broad daylight. On the opposite sidewalk. Now, to give you an idea as to how bad it was going, we were keeping up with this guy. Then came the downhill. He started going down, swerving back and forth to try to slow the speed. He did great. But then there was the uphill. Mike turned to me and said, "oh gosh, now he has to try to push." Sure enough, foot off, push and fall off. We were busting up. We turned to finish up the rest of our run.
