So I'm on my Tuesday lunchtime run as usual, and I decided to take a route that I hadn't taken since the hip problem. I made it back in time to snarf summa dat tuna in a pouch and who should come around the corner but the Office Gay Guy. (Whom I love.love.love. cause he's just a sweetie.)

OGG says "I saw you running at lunchtime."

To which I reply, 'Great! I love it when others have a chance to witness my bison-like qualities."

He laughed, (did I tell you he's sweet?) and then said "Well, no...but it was hailing and sleeting out and I saw someone running and I though to myself who the ____ would be running out in this crap. Then I saw that it was YOU! That's ....."

I waitied for the "dumb, stupid, crazy, obsessed" but what I heard was...

DEDICATION

Yep. He said "That's DEDICATION."

That is cool to hear.

On Monday I ran in the rain and a couple of people thought I was nuts to run. I just tell them that it is just water and no big deal. They look at me like I am nuts and we move on to something else.
