Better to Laugh

The event is almost here! I ran 10 miles last Saturday in Wisconsin; we stayed at the farm for Easter with the Mulders. Wow, I didn’t realize how much rolling hills can tighten up your calves! Not to mention how tiring the wind blowing across open fields is. It was a great training run! I kept praying that no dogs would run into the road growling and barking, since my husband warned me that he met some unhappy canines last time he ran the block. By the way, the perimeter of the neighborhood block is about 5 miles; rural neighborhoods are very spacious. I saw one dog a couple of farms down the road, but I know him; he pretty much keeps to himself. The only other dog was on a chain. Other than watching that I didn’t get run over by a milk truck, it was an enjoyable run in the dairy air.
