Need something to keep your mind off the fact that you're running? Look no farther than the curb. Every day I'm amazed at the variety of objects I see on the roadside. Just this morning after spying a flattened wrench in the bike lane, I came across an abandoned scooter that I know some poor kid will be frantically searching for this afternoon. This was followed by discarded Starbucks, Jamba and McDonald's cups--only two that I looked longingly at. Several wayward citrus varieties were scattered about (not out-of-the-ordinary for California). Then there was the roadkill that I couldn't determine the genus or species of no matter how close I looked. Whatever it was, it never made it across the road. I like to think that the almost full pack of Marlboro cigarettes was tossed out a car window when its owner gave up smoking for good. I nearly broke into song when I came across a red SOLO cup (country-western fans, you know the tune).
My point?
LACE UP and look down. You never know what you might find.
