Tribute to runners.

I am definitely not a runner. I have always enjoyed a good walk more and I think it suits my body better. I walk the bridge twice a week with a wonderful friend who recently completed the New York Marathon. She describes it as an experience of a lifetime - the crowds of runners (over 40,000!) and the New York fans cheering on every runner, fast or slow. She ran in support of "Shoes for Africa" a charity raising money for African children.

My runner critter is not a marathoner - he's just a local runner, but the inspiration was from all of those dedicated runners who push themselves and sometimes run for a charity.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. May you all experience blessings and feel gratitude.
