This Random Jogger.....
I went to the local metropark yesterday to attempt the 3 mile path, which I did. Anyway, it was quite busy with joggers, bikers, power walkers, etc. So here I go, sweating my *kitten* off, when some jogger comes at me, and says "Way to go! Good job!" And keeps going. I mutter thanks, and continue on. The thing is, I was…

Even though the choices could…
