Joe has been running/jogging 700-800 miles a year for exercise for a long time. A few years back he decided to run from one geographical location to another in order to keep track of his mileage ... not literally, but figuratively speaking. The first time he did this and told someone he had gotten to Chicago, the innocent response was "How did you get back home?" He had to explain it was in his mind only that he ran those miles. He has been running toward the west coast for several years now, and on April 7, 2009 having completed the latest leg of his journey, he "dipped his toes into the Pacific Ocean" at San Diego. The only sad part about this year's completion of the run, was that Molly, our faithful dog who has run many a mile along side him, left us before we could get a photo that included her (as in past ones). Joe really misses his running partner.
