So I ran a bit of my normal run up the parkway. I had a couple funny things happen tonight. First when I was walking to the locker room at the gym to change into my running stuff. You need to walk by the pool, and there was a guy, pretty big guy, but that's not the point. He had a big tramp stamp tatoo. I thought only girl got tatoo like that. Then when I was running out on the road before I got to the parkway this funny old man was riding his bike by me, he had on a cowboy hat with flowers and flags around the brim. He also had a big long beard that came about to the middle of his chest. I gave him a nice smile and wave, he didn't respond. When I got to the parkway it was flooded under the road, so I had to backtrack and run down to a street light to cross, I swear it was the longest light in Ogden. As I was waiting for the light a young kid ran up to the intersection on the other side, as we both crossed he kept running with me, Me on one side of the road him on the other. He pulled ahead of me but soon peetered out so I was able to pass :) I had one slip and fall, so after that I decided to head back. Now that my bottom was wet from the fall, I was getting cold. 

He pollution is out of control, I think we are suposed to get a storm tonight but I don't think it will be enough to clean the air. Temps for tomorrow are predicted to only be in the low teens.

NIce, consistent miles! I have never seen a guy with a tramp stamp tattoo either. Weird. Hope your butt is not sore this morning!

I guess I'm sheltered. I don't know what a tramp stamp tattoo is.

You had an eventful run. I'm sorry one of the events was a fall, but it sounds like you recovered well, except for being cold.

I really hope your air clears up.

Nice running. I think the air quality has improved a little for today (Thurs).

A tramp stamp is a tattoo that is located just above the coin slot. LOL! Actually the lower back.
