T says, "Whats with the camera this time, Dad?"
Keith recently asked me how I can stand running the same loop around the lake over and over. I run the vast majority of my runs around the same 3.7 mile jogging path. When I was marathon training, I'd usually branch out away from the lake after a few circuits but now that I'm doing short runs, I rarely do. I don't find it monotonous. I know exactly where I am distance wise at all times - when to pour it one, when to hold back, etc. I never have to cross traffic so I can tune out if I want to. I see the same people at certain times of day. Also, I enjoy watching the landscape change with the seasons and time of day.
I thought I'd take the camera along on a recent run and share some photos with both of the people who read this blog.

- I live in a small town in Washington State, USA, with my wife, two sons, two dogs, a cat, and family nearby. I work at the local community college as an I.T. Specialist. In March of '02, we bought a 70-some year old house that needed a lot of work. When I'm not working on the house, I like to throw pots, be outside, and read a lot.

You've mentioned your runs around the lake so many times that I've had a very clear picture of it in my imagination since before Vegas. Wow, it's even pretier than my imagination. No wonder you like to run there.
HELLO! just because I don't always comment...and that's only because I basically have the honor of nagging at you 8-5 work weekly! Besides...I'm kind of partial to Running Stitch! So there!
