I didn't really notice how close I live to a lot things until I started running in October. To do a 3 mile block, I pass 2 pizza places, 2 Mexican restaruants, 1 small grocery story and a sports grill. Seems kinda silly to drive to them...but on days like today, when there are 8 inches of snow on the ground...that 4WD is appreciated!!!

The company I work for at the end of 2008 decided to put in a 1/4 walking path behin the buidling. While it was a nice gesture, there is a nice neighborhood just across the street several of us walk during the warmer months. I sorta wish instead, they had invested the money in some indoor excercie equipment, that we could have used year round.
