I ran angry this morning. Really angry. My pace doesn't show it. My pace was actually over a minute per mile slower than my last run's. The crazy squiggly lines at the beginning of my run are the only evidence of the ire in my heart. I thought a lot about the cowardly act as I ran this way and that. Then, when I got back to near where I'd begun, an idea struck me. I would run to honor the fallen. The end result can be seen in my GPS map. The mess of angry zigzagging now resembles the smoke from the bombing.God bless those who have lost loved ones, those who have lost limbs, those who are traumatized. God help those who carried out the bombing.

Great minds think alike, I ran a "BOSTON" route this morning, http://www.qaptainqwerty.com/2013/04/boston-between-us.html . I've been experimenting with gwriting, as I call it, so I started out today with the purpose of doing just that, for Boston.
I saw your post on the Run Junkees event. Loved it!
I also draw pictures of things. It all started with a simple scottie dog a few years ago when I was living in another town. I've drawn all sorts of things since then from an ibis to a stegosaurus to a pistol.
I decided there must be others out there who do g-writing and g-art, so I formed a Facebook group this morning. I'd love it if you'd join. https://www.facebook.com/groups/gwriting
