Ran around the hood today.  Listened to the frogs croak in the dark.  Saw 2 cats run across a yard, and saw 2 other runners out.  That really took me by surprise.  Not used to seeing anyone else out on my morning run.

avg pace 9:37.  Just a little slower than what I'd wanted, but it was tough this morning.

Darn cats slowing you down again?

Just think, you might have motivated those other runners to get out there :)

Terri- I don't like the competition...I want to be the one running in the dark. If everyone started running in the dark, then I wouldn't be known as "the girl who runs in the morning."

Burt- anything that jumps out in the road in front of me slows me down. especially cats, dogs, rabbits, frogs, snakes, and the plastic wrapping around cigarette packages that blows in the wind. Just normal pirate issues.

I get scared of plastic shopping bags that resemble desert tortoises.
