run-commuting continues

Today, I had to break out the car because of time constraints, but it seems like with the streets being in such lousy condition, I probably didn't save that much time. Yesterday was a pretty cold one, with a 5.5 mile run each way with 15 pounds on my back.


Crossing 29th, at Manito Blvd has not been a lot of fun since someone (a disgruntled motorist?) stole all the homemade crossing flags. I used my orange hat as a flag to cross the other day, and almost got hit by someone who was 2 blocks out when I started to cross and was yelled at by someone in the other lane. Good times!
