I ran to the HS and ran 2 miles barefoot, then ran home.  On my return, less than one mile from my house, I saw a 5 dollar bill out of the corner of my eye.  I picked it up and continued on my way, feeling pretty good about my find.  Ten steps later I found a $20 bill, then ten steps after that $20 more bucks.  I'm feeling pretty good about myself when ten steps later I find a third $20 and to top it off, a $1 bill ten steps after that.  SO....$66 bucks later I'm a happy guy and pleased with the course I ran for the day.  Do I turn in $$ found along a main street with literally dozens and dozens of stores along it?

wow -- $66! that is crazy. that happened to me once while warming up for a race -- but i only found $3. i would say it would be impossible to trace back to any one source. looks like you have some cash to spend on souvenirs in logan next weekend. :)

Yeah, 66 bucks has got to be some sort of record, right? The problem is now I scan the ground the entire run looking for more cash and I'm disappointed when I don't find anything. Haha.

As Steve Miller would say, "Take the money and run"
