I went for a run today. Beautiful, sunny sky, and everything smelled good because of all the rain we had yesterday. It was very nice. I saw something odd though, and I was hoping someone could help me figure this out:
I was on the Mount Royal mountain and coming towards me was another runner. He was a regular looking, athletic guy; all decked out in the latest running gear. And he was playing a tambourine. It was a yellow half tambourine, and he was jingeling it in some sort of beat while he was running.
I had to do a double take. He didn't look crazy. He looked like a perfectly normal fellow, probably in his forties. He had a dog with him, so perhaps it was a training exercise? Or perhaps the tambourine jingles help him to run faster?
I typed "running with your dog and a tambourine" into Google, but nothing helpful popped up. I feel like there should be a good reason behind this.
Any suggestions?
