The weekend haunt

10 miles done. Kate and I have named our long runs on Saturday the Weekend Haunt. It has not been easy. We're so happy when we're done and the black cloud has passed.

Here are some things we saw today during our run (more like a jog) from Kollen Park down Southshore Dr. to the Lighthouse.
  • a dead mouse with no hair on the bikepath.
  • a Smart car. i don't think it would be smart in the winter.
  • the Holland birdwatcher/photography group (twice). who knew?
  • man walking a baby black pig at Kollen Park.
We had to run by the pickle factory twice. We were so ready to be done that when we passed it on our way back it was a sign that the haunt was almost over. Kate said the smell of vinegar never smelled so good. I wanted to laugh but was too exhausted. That's when we saw the black pig cross our path. What is that a sign of?
