You never know when a run could happen!

Turned out I needed gloves on my lunch-hour run Wednesday with Zoë (Run, Zoë, Run) and Mel (Tall Mom on the Run), so it was a good thing I had the extra gloves!

Zoë, me and Mel. Bondibands unite!
The much-needed gloves. Brrrr!
Little Goob’s sweet ride.
Blurry because we went back in time to the ’80s to go along with my
high-pony look for the run. Like, totally, gag me with a spoon, alright?
Not sure what’s happening with my hand. We couldn’t think of any good ’80s poses.

Sometimes, when I'm reading in a hurry, I get letters from different lines of text mixed up. And thus I read random receipts and Costco coupon booklets as Condom receipts. Oops!

I use a purse-slash-diaper bag, and I'm amazed at how quickly I can collect stuff I don't need! Although I don't keep xtra running gear in there- might have to remedy that. 🙂
