M is Running

Not from the law. Not from a bear. Not to beat the rain. Not to catch a bus. Those are pretty much the only reasons that I will run. No, M is running for kicks, to stay in shape, to challenge himself, and to finish this 5K race in our neighborhood. The Run Around the Square is an annual event that takes place in Regent Square and Frick Park and it was quite a to-do. Lots of sponsors and thousands of spectators, a DJ, and trophies for the winners. All the neighbors line the streets and cheer. Before the 5K starts, there's a shorter fun run for kids and dogs. And free beer and hot dogs from D's and McBroom's at the end. Considering this was his first race ever, and he only started his training program a few weeks ago, I think he did pretty good.
