Run # 380 - The Keisha Run

This one is named after a waitress of mine I once had the pleasure of being served at a local Denny's.

Her name was Keisha (duh) and while running this specific route that night I felt she did a good enough job to earn the naming rights.

So, Keisha, if you ever read this, I hope you're honored.

Run # 379 - The Downtown Phoenix Run

Somewhat of a classic run.

I stopped by the office to lift weights and then tour our beautiful (sarcasm, yes) downtown area.

Ran by a motorhome, a lot reserved for drug dealing, you get the picture.

Also stopped by my friend Vince's loft.

Then I managed to find my way back to the office without incident.

Here's a tip if you're ever bored: go downtown and run around for a while.

It's not boring if you pay attention to the people and sketchy landscape around you.

Run # 378 - The Party Run

Saturday, May 31

Like how I'm adding the date of the run to the blog now since I rarely update it same day?

I knew you would.

I called this one the party run since I passed an outdoor "kegger" on the way.

Runners like me enjoy being hooted and hollered at by drunk people.

I'm thankful for headphones and it always makes me run faster when people yell at me.

Run # 377 - The Diamondbacks Hill Run

Friday, May 30.

After watching the Diamondbacks lose- what their 6th straight? - I went for the hills.

Well, the hill that is.

A late night Friday run.

Typical for me.

Run # 376 - The Migraine Headache Cure Run

Running has often cured headaches for me.

This run was no different.

I barely made it because I wanted to puke to start but I felt better along the way and finished strong.

My reward came in the form of the headache returning even worse. I guess I should have kept running.

Run # 375 - The One Headphone Run

Decided to run to Summer Moon/Sleeping Moon for this one.

An old pair of headphones I realized why I no longer wear were with me.

They kept falling out so I went with just one.

I probably looked pretty odd but the annoyance of the situation led to me running with anger. At least that's what the look on the face of the pizza guy I passed suggested.

Run # 374 - The 20th St. Run

My ambition to run to 16th St. and back was thwarted with a typical decision to only run to 20th St.

In this case I was actually pressed for time and didn't start this run until 11 pm.

The highlight of this one for me was avoiding traffic as, for some reason or another, I stepped out in front of an oncoming car but had a good 4 or 5 seconds to run past it.
