Faster, Funner

So, yesterday was Monday. Monday means my Portland run. As much as I usually enjoy it, it was more fun yesterday. Four came along with me. Before we got off the Back Cove path I had to rein him in a little. I could have run that pace, but not have talked the whole time. As it was, we still covered the 10.5 plus miles nearly 4 minutes faster than I usually run. Hmmm....maybe I need a running partner more than I think. I do attribute my Bruiser break through this year to running Bradbury with the Monsters.

I showed Four all my little "finds" along the way. There's a tree off the Eastern Prom trail that someone(s) hangs stuff from. Some of the stuff seems permanent, but some comes and goes. I always have to stop and check it. I've been trying to think what my contribution should be. Ryan thought maybe something of the FSM. Maybe, there are some plastic rosary beads already. It was a surprise the Monday after our Brown visit when the tree was sporting a pirate mask. Well, the frat next to Ryan's house was having a pirate party....Almost suspected the tree of attending!

I didn't even feel guilty when Four couldn't be convinced that a chocolate chunk scone is the end of the run.
