On The Trails

Today on the trails...

There was the dog training lady on the hill.
There was the little girl getting cups of water for her parents.
There was the grandmotherly, Greek-looking woman.
And there was this guy running alongside a woman who was going very fast.

I recognized her from when she dashed past on the other side of the lake. And then I saw her talking to that painter under the bridge. This guy was clearly an addition to her running routine.

I figure he was trying to start up a conversation as long as they were running the same pace. Problem is: they weren't running the same pace. Just before they passed beyond earshot, I heard him laugh and say, You're killing me!

Later I passed him walking, and the woman was nowhere to be seen. Then he came sprinting by, clearly hoping to find her at the stretching area. But around the next bend, I passed him walking again.

At the stretching area, she was nowhere to be seen. I guess she didn't want to wait for him to show up.
