Ran the parkway after work... it was pretty hot, but I did better then I thought I would. Maybe I'm starting to acclimate to the heat. As I was running on the trail, I noticed some magazine pages on the trail, when I looked down I was shocked... they were pages from a porno mag. I ran around picking up about 3 or so pages within about ten yards of the path. There was a garbage can within 1/8 of a mile and I disposed of them there and hurried to the bathroom that was close by to was my hands... LOL. There are lots of little kids walking with their families down there, I can't believe no one else picked them up! Also I seen my regulars (little old couple with middle age daughter and dog) I was so glad they didn't see them... the little old lady reminds me of my mom. I seen one other friend and ended up stopping and talking with him and his wife for a while.

You certainly did your good turn for the day.

I'm glad to here you're getting acclimated to the heat. That's helpful.

Eeww! Garbage on the trail is bad enough, let alone nasty garbage. Good for you for picking up.

Nice run; you are doing well in the heat!

I had a similar story happen to me. I was out in the middle of no where. After I realized what it was I saw a vehicle coming, so I ditched it. They obviously saw me. On the way back it was gone. I was afraid they would think I was some pervert kid, but in hindsight, it was probably theirs.

Good Citizen award to you!! One of the reasons we moved out of Seattle was finding stuff like that in the park near my house. Especially certain paraphernalia -- and little ones pick up *everything.*

When they first put this pathway system in I would find all sorts of garbage along the path, but it has been so good for many years, I was surprised to see it. I hope it was just a fluke.
