Well folks, I hope you enjoyed that little commercial sleeping in break brought to you and sponsored by my mattress and pillow, but this morning, we are going to resume our regulary scheduled program.......
It was 4:40 by the time I got warmed up & out the door. The temps were a glorious 54 degrees, with little clouds in the sky, a beautiful slice of a waning crescent moon, and more stars that I can shake a stick at. Perfect fall running weather!
I ran slow. I wasn't in a hurry, I was just enjoying the run (except the small little section that goes by the swamp and doesn't have any lights....and then I hurried toward the lights).
The dog that chased me off the road when I was riding my bike a few weeks ago showed up again this morning running out into the road and barking/chasing after me. A little spray in his general direction sent him back to his own yard to bark at me from a distance. I yelled at him before I sprayed him, but he didn't understand what "GO HOME" meant. I guess he doesn't speak english.
My tempo increased as I ran, turned into a great progressive run. Avg pace was 9:22. |
