<p>Happy Wednesday 
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jill - too warm?? I hope you are not wishing for more wind too?? I am enjoying the last of the warm temps before the cold season. Last night was a windy wet rainy run but I am glad to say stuck with it & finished. It wasn't raining when I started so I took the pup. At about mile two it started to rain hard and the pup gave me a look of not sure she wanted be outside but we both finished and got in 4 miles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for the kudos Hawk. Is there a spread on the bet of calarie count?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just a couple interesting numbers to start: </p>
<p>Open Space adds 16.3 billion to real estate value, annually generates $240 mm in tax dollars, saves $37 mm in natural flood mitigation services.,</p>
<p>Trails add $577 mm in accrued health benefits to residents who use the trail & 09' on average 41% of moderate physical exercise is performed in park/trails. </p>
<p>I didn't even mention the business income form sales/jobs/etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We bankers always like our numbers </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today is an off day but maybe I can convince myself of Jill's theory that early morning is the best and shoot for Thursday's 4m run in the am. That's my goal anyway.</p>
