Scenes from the run: before the Good Karma 5K

Today I am going to complete part one of my "Pay It Forward" goal by volunteering at the Good Karma 5K... but I still wanted to get in a few gentle miles before the run, so I sloooowwwllllyyyyyy ran the loop  before my volunteer shift starts at 8:15. The rain held off ... until just now! ... but the threatening skies meant that I pretty much had the path to myself. This morning's highlight? A flock of Canada geese, including some very gangly "teenagers" fiercely defending their stretch of beach.
