After the Let Me Run program got out this evening I drove over to Caitlin's house for a double run. I could include the 37 minutes of running I did with the youngsters, but we only covered 2.8 miles. It was a glorified walk, an 800 meter shuffle that doesn't deserve logging.

Our run this evening took us all around Uptown. We hit up the little bike path that runs on the west side of I-77. My legs continue to feel a bit sluggish and the tight right hamstring remains. The only eventful part of this run occurred moments before it ended. Caitlin and I were running back on McDowell when we crossed 5th or 6th street. We crossed the street without the light and some clown on his rusty bike sped up to nearly hit me. I don't think he was purposely trying to hit me, but he came within a few feet. He made some off hand comment and I responded.

We went back and forth until he decided to stop at the intersection at 7th street. This is when I got to get a good look at the dirty hipster. He was wearing an old pair of red Adidas breakdance pants with a pair of ripped mesh basketball shorts over the top. He had attached a green plastic boa to his yellow courier bag so that it flowed behind him like a tail. To top things off Mr. Hipster rocked a pair of Barbie sunglasses with pink frames. His whole ensemble was too easy to poke fun at and he eventually rode off to smoke a clove cigarette, drink a PBR and cry himself to sleep.
