| Things runners see that most people don't.. Example, A road bridge 2 miles from my house has this plaque honoring Crispus Attucks , The very first person to pay the price of life for Americans freedom from British rule. Crispus had a house on the stream that the bridge crosses. Hundreds of cars pass over this Bridge every day and never seen the plaque,only runners and a few others on foot get to see the honor of this place ... I had to stop ...midway on my run today to shake out a right Hip cramp , I had the same cramp two days ago |
