and lean. As she races by, she always waves to me and smiles widely showing her
bright white teeth. Her long brown hair is tied up in a ponytail. It swings from side to
side as she takes big running strides. Whether the day is sunny or rainy, Jane goes for
a run. Her athletic build and fast pace always impress me.
