Puppet Runner

Dug and I are at the All About Animals Quarter Marathon. It was rainy today so Dug guarded my truck while I ran, but he’s with me now as we wait for awards. I really enjoyed the run today, relaxed into my pace, and was pleased with my time. Dug is pleased that the race is raising money for a local no-kill animal rescue.

This is part of my son’s senior AP Art portfolio on display tonight. I love that he painted Fred Rogers, a man whose puppetry (not to mention endless warmth and kindness) had a huge impact on me as a child. My son has gifted the painting to me after his AP work is through. It will be cherished.

Remy and I are in Reynolds, Georgia, for the Taylor County Race for Literacy 5K. I have run this race many times over the years and enjoy its small-town charm. It’s part of the Georgia Strawberry Festival, so I have dressed appropriately. We’re looking forward to the amazing fresh strawberries at the finish!

Pooh and I are ready for the Springtime Surprise 10K!
