Someone's passport. I'm assuming it had been stolen and ditched. I mailed it to the passport people today.

I don't half-ass anything

I found $45 on Sunday's long run. The bills were spread out every few feet. First a 20, then a string of ones, another 20, and one more one.

hmm, runners don't carry money like that, that really is odd. If it were from a walker, I guess the wind blew it?! Strange.

I need to find more exciting routes, I never find anything worthy of telling people about!

It was along a major street, so who knows?

When I go running lots of miles at one time, I carry money like that.

Lemon pies are spendy.

I always carry plenty of cash on long runs too.

Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

If it's a Saturday during daylight hours, and if I'm running in a residential area, I usually carry a few quarters in case a kid is having a lemonade stand.

A snake. Luckily it was dead, but I didn't know that at the time. I didn't see it until it was too late to stop and had to jump over it. Then I stopped and turned round to check out what I thought it was as I'd never seen one before in the 'wild'

I dodge snakes almost daily, little ones. I keep meaning to google it to find out what they are, but I probably don't want to know

I run trails out in the desert so I've seen my share of dead jackrabbits, and snakes. A few weeks back I came across a dog carcass. The only parts left were the rib cage, arms and head. No sign of his bottom half. But the weirdest thing I found was a tied shut garbage bag full of newborn puppies. Twelve of them, all alive, with their eyes still closed and umbilical cords still attached. They were dumped at least a half mile from the nearest paved road and with temperatures fairly warm, not sure how much longer they would have lasted.

Twice in the last two weeks I've seen a cockerel. A live one. Twice. Maybe that wouldn't be so strange if I didn't live in the city centre of Manchester and I hadn't seen the damn thing just wandering about the streets.
