I ran a half marathon and high fived every kid cheering at the race and any adult who was offering them. It was the B.A.A. Half. I ended up being given a couple of acorns by one of the little boys early in the race. I carried them with me the entire race and brought them home.
Counterpoint: I chose the routes without the dogs. “He just likes you,” as the dog jumps on and scratches me, or BITES my run partner or knocks over my child. Regular occurrence in my life. So thank you to dog owners who train their dogs and leash them in public! (It’s not the dog, it’s the owner)
I'm not making this up. Last week I ran a race and when I got home my husband asked me how it went. I said fine, but I really regret not taking pictures of all the dogs along the route. I run the race most years and it's mostly in neighborhoods. People hang out in their front yards, set up unsanctioned water stops, spray you with their garden hose, it's fun It was the most dogs I'd ever seen and all of them were adorable. From now on, I am always stopping for dog pics, gotta get my DPM up!
