So really, I had to admit to myself that even though I was tired and didn&#8217;t feel like it, not going running would just be me finding excuses.  I need exercise.  We all do.  So on days when I really don&#8217;t feel like going but know I should, I tell myself it&#8217;s like a prescription from the doctor.  It may be a bitter pill to swallow, but I still need to swallow it.<\/p>\n<p>I got out to the Greenway and started to stretch.  As I was warming up a bit, I noticed something on the ground.<br \/>\n<center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/93468786@N00\/3974742636\/\" title=\"carved penny tails by emisanboo, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2620\/3974742636_df44352964_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"carved penny tails\" hspace=\"3\" vspace=\"3\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/93468786@N00\/3974742488\/\" title=\"carved penny heads by emisanboo, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2531\/3974742488_5c4af2b274_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"144\" alt=\"carved penny heads\" hspace=\"3\" vspace=\"3\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nCoolest.

Or possibly it was carved up by whoever smoked that homemade&#8230; uh&#8230; mostly smoked cigarette which was also nearby.  Either way, it was so unexpected and fascinating that my mood immediately lifted.  As a result, I had a great run.<\/p>\n<p>How does it go?
