Cha Ching!!

Who says we just collect road money???  I was excited, like I usually am, when I found a penny on my run this morning (it's sitting next to the pigs left ear).  I tucked it securely in my gloves and went on my merry way.  Well, a mile or so later I found a book, and then a puzzle!  Now those that know me, know I can't pass up a good find.  Besides finding $$, I've picked up cell phones, a camera, a circus balloon, a toy pig, a dog toy, and I have even gone as far as to carry a mesh princess laundry basket for several miles. So how could I leave a nice board book and an unwrapped puzzle?  I felt a little bad after I got home.  I am thinking that some poor kid had a birthday and mom or dad accidently left a few of the presents on top of the car. The book was part of a set of three (the other two didn't fare so well).

Let The Running Begin

We are actually not training just yet for the relay, but we will be shortly.   This is just us at our best, 5:15am!  Who else is crazy enough to get out there at that time of morning.  Welcome to the newcomers Eva and Melissa! 

Trophies

This is our obsession. Our namesake. The payoff, if you will, for pounding the pavement. The beat up ones are my favorite--they seem to have a story of their own (even though they aren't very shiny).
