the weather cooled off nicely here so I decided I could sleep in and get a run in today without worrying about the "heat of the day."  I knew it was going to be nice when I opened the garage door to head out, and there waiting for (like a gift from the pirate king) was this:

 

Yep, it's half a dead mole.  Boo-ya!

I got a couple mile warm up in, stopped at the house for a drink and potty break, and MR and I were off on our grand adventure for the day.  I planned on doing something between 13 and 15.  After a few miles more, I decided to take a different approach to a route I've been running, and do more of a "p" shaped loop than the "D" I've been doing.  It ended up being longer than I'd thought.   It was a good run, and the only negative was the wind that found me for a few miles of the run home.  I stopped to fuel with gu at miles 6 and 12.  I think that I perform better refueling every 5 miles rather than every 6.  I'll stick with the 5 from now on.

MR found a build a bear rollerskate for the treasure box.  It's only one, but what peg-legged pirate needs two?

Nice run and maybe the best picture ever on this blog.

Thanks Rob! Dead critters always say "excellence" to me :-)
