Foggy morning, ran 2 miles with MR and then he hopped on the bike and played world's best water-boy for the rest of my run.  I was planning on running 10 more, but at some point when my decision making skills were compromised by the sunshine coming out and baking my brain, I agreed to run a route I wasn't familiar with. 

So my 12 turned into over 14.  We stopped at a gas station to put some ice and water in the water bottles and I actually finished pretty strong.  I needed a nap when I was done, but what else are Saturdays for?

Nice long run. Great job for the water boy too :)

Happy you snuck in a nice nap.

Glad you got your water boy back! A little extra on a run is always a good thing :)

Saturdays for me are for yard work, which is difficult after a long run. But you did yours on Thursday. Smart.

Chad- one benefit to losing your job is having flexibility to mow the lawn any day of the week. Also, you don't have to run in the dark to get to work on time. Now if I can just find strangers to throw cash at me, I'll be golden!

You lost your job? That sucks.

It does, but things are working out in mysterious ways. Runners are tough, and we shall overcome!!
