Day 3: Brummit to West side of LaPorte (a big ole field)

Today's section was joined by some friendly faces and friends.


This section of the run heads out from Brummit and down the road a ways until we met up in part with a friendly reminder of another colleague....Snyder road....  Kearney and I stopped here for a quick picture.


This took us down some familiar road for Kearney...and reminiscing of his younger years....  I usually run listening to podcast, but for me running with Kearney today was my human podcast of porter county history.  Full of fun antidote chatting we tackled the rolling hills of the landscape.  We crossed 421 and Red Mill County park was upon us soon after.  Not long after we were nearing the toll road cross over and passed upon a unique find...




If ya get a chance...watch this movie again.... one of the best and chalked full of classic lines.

Headed out of the hills and more towards classic Indiana farm country....we started an animal count...

Still living included blue jays, a hawk circling a spot in a field, and a snail making its way across the road (yes in December folks). Questionable status...a possum doing a great job at playing possum..likely dead...and a sad little bird that looks like it was a treat for something larger.  Either way...running on these roads lends our views to various sites, sounds, and unfortunately smells (not all coming from our running partners). Needless to say when you travel by means other than car you earn a different appreciation for the environment around you. The consensus from today's run was that it was a very pretty run which made it that much more enjoyable.  Everyone is still hanging in there- and our visitors had a great time.  Thanks for joining us.



*In case you noticed...Kearney and I (Furcsik) did not run today's segment with Milligan today due to other commitments; Kearney and I ran this segment a few days early on Tues.   We were blessed with a touch warmer temps, but with some trickling rain.  His wonderful wife Martha was kinda enough to pick us up even though we smelt something awful I'm sure.





Thanks to Bob Cohn, JD Williamson, and Kent Butler for joining Milligan today.  Sounds like you all had a great time together and had a blast!


We will be back at it tomorrow to head through LaPorte around midday.  So if ya wanna join us let us know...we would love to have anyone for any distance they are able to run!
