Things I learned on my run this morning

1. Once you have been running for awhile, 38 degrees isn't THAT cold.
2. Eighth Avenue Northwest is really dirty.
3. Eighth Avenue Northwest is a wind tunnel.
4. Third is much better than Eighth.
5. People do not like picking up their dog poo.
6. People will bag their dog poo, then leave it on the sidewalk.
7. There is a really creepy GIANT King Kong head coming out of the side of the house at Eighth and 50th in Ballard.
8. The light at Eighth and 65th is really fast: Be ready.
9. After running up the long uphill that is Eighth, running up the steep, short uphill to Greenwood is nothing.
10. When your watch breaks, your iPod playlist works wonders for determining how long the run took.
