Saturday

Saturday started with an 18 mile run...Which involved the boys in their matching Northern Ohio half marathon shirts {I need to note that I wore mine to school on Friday ~ so I'm the trend setter}  Finally a Saturday for running!  Tuesday we had a snow day & missed school.  {ran 7 in the snow & my calves have yet to recover}  Thursday morning it was a whopping 0 degrees as I drove into the parking lot at school.  But Saturday morning it was 48 degrees when I woke up.  I ran in ONE layer!   Would have been a skirt if the wind hadn't been blowing at 15 miles an hour.  Had a few notables this day:

Along the way we ran by a dead squirrel right next to a broken Budweiser bottle...which Mike thought was hysterical.  He would love to snap a picture of such a find, but no one in the group carries a phone.

As we were running along The 20 a pickup truck slows way down with the window rolled down.  There's a old guy, grinning from ear to ear blasting some old country music song about running. {Dodd knew it}  He cruises with us for a minute or so...our own personal musical escort.  Now that's a Fan!

Then we drove our cramping and tired legs to Columbus to meet Patrick & Maggie to celebrate Patrick's 21st birthday.  We went to Texas de Brazil and ATE.  There is nothing like an all you can eat meat place.  And it was all delicious!  Maggie called it the Best. Meal. Ever.  But she's never been to the fondue place on the top of Keystone Mountain.  Patrick still says that's the best...but this was a good substitute.
