Day 3,895 —So Many People Out!—

 

I was practically bumping into people as I ran through Webster. I exchanged a few enthusiastic greetings with some other runners, but I was a little shocked to see so many other people out. There were not that many single runners, but a lot of groups and pairs.

 

I felt strong, and I was already five miles in before I knew it. I went over and took a picture of the holiday decorations at Mrs. Anderson’s, a dog shampoo place that always goes all out on its window displays. I havent’ looked at them this season yet, but was reminded of the place when I think I saw the owner at the Oakland house this weekend.

 

Why were so many other runners out today? It was cold. I wonder if it was just because I ran a slightly different route at a slightly different time, or maybe people are starting to train for Spring races, or are they just trying to get the maximum number of miles in before the end of the year?
