passion for running category: funny, running on Friday, June 3 2005

Last night I had dream I met chocolate runner dude Jon. Here’s what I remember:

-He was trying to hide his face
-He had freakishly massive pipes and I told him his arms were so big they were for sure slowing his running.
-He had the funkiest big head of hair I’ve ever seen in either my real or dream-state life. I’m talking big and funky. Sort of like a 70’s afro only not as curly - more wavy with a quasi-dreadlock thing going on.
-And he was driving one of these:

WTF?????? I think I may need to seek professional help.

First, thanks for the comment on my blog. I’ll have to keep an eye out for rogue cylists!

Are you a POSE runner? (I know, I should just read your whole blog, but I’m known for looking ahead in a book)

Ooops, never mind. The “pose running method” so clearly listed in your header answers the question.
Duh.

I hope I never see an actual picture of Jon because I prefer to envision him just as you described! :D

Jon’s frequent funny comments might lead you to dream he’s got quasi-dreadlocks but if he’s driving big farm equipment I’m guessing he’s got it tricked out with an onboard piano, dishwasher and chocolate factory in the back.

He was hiding his chocolate, of course, so he wouldn’t have to share…

That’s a pimped up combine that Jon was operating. Was he wearing spandex? Cool combine btw.
