Hand #251 BFF

After 4 days of rain, the sun came out today! Could hardly wait to get on my running shoes and go out to play...sunny and in the cool 60's... perfect for a 10K run (6.2 miles). I ran through several old residential neighbourhoods, new to my running route. One of the streets was slanted, had a high crown, good for water run-off but not for running. This road engineering forces me to run down the middle of the road. I was cruising along and a nice even pace... then smack in the middle of two cross roads... the intersection of Plantation Road and Cobblestone Road I met Emily and Staci. They are BFF's (Best Friends Forever). Sealing their friendship in the middle of the intersection for the world to see! I was so moved by the sight of their hand prints, I ran circles around them! Getting down on my knees, I took a closer look. For a fleeting moment I was imagining what they must have been feeling and could almost hear them giggling.
Snapping out of it...... HELLO? ~ get out of the middle of the road, I thought to myself...  quickly picking back up with my run.
When I finally returned home, I grabbed my cell phone, hopped in the car and drove back to the intersection so I could photograph for my Blog. What an AMAZING find... a beautiful gift... made my day!

  1. Those of us who love you worry about 1.) running down the middle of the road, and 2.) not having your cell phone with you. Just saying...
