Run, Forrest, Run…

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and boy do I wish I had one right now of what I saw just a little bit ago. I’m just not sure words can do this justice. While I was out driving to get some lunch, I saw the most awesome jogger I have ever seen. Usually, I don’t give joggers a second look unless they happen to resemble Ryan Reynolds a little. This jogger certainly got my attention, and there wasn’t any hotness going on… just beautiful hilarious irony.
This man was quite large, and although I commend him a great deal for getting out there and jogging, I really wish I could have been a witness to the thought process he must have gone through to end up where he was. First of all, he was wearing collared polo shirt complete with red, orange and blue horizontal stripes with his running shorts and tennis shoes. I might have not thought jogging his original intention had it not been for the circa 1982 head band he was wearing. The attire was not the best part. This man, with a determined expression on his face, was running along, eyes set on the prize all while drinking a gigantic Icee.
Do you think that this beverage was the only thing available at the time to hydrate him? Could he have been trying to run off the calories as he was drinking them? Maybe he was just rushing to the next convenience store to get a refill and to try a new flavor. The world may never know.

Further proof that we need to get you a better cell phone so that you can “capture the moment.”
