With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams...

Woke up early to try and beat the heat.  It was humid and foggy, but I stayed out of the sun for the first half of the run.

MR rode along and we found something stinky... upon closer examination we saw it was really a dead dog someone had thrown in a trash bag and tossed on the side of the road.  It made me sad.  Who would do that?

ugh.  Early dark foggy wet warm humid.  I miss the moon and the stars- darn fog has been ruining my dark runs for a week now.

Just glad to be back at it.

90 minute elliptical workout

first 30 min warming up, then 1 hour with the heat on

Another early morning 5.  Humid and too warm, even in the dark.  Someone said the words "cold front" and I got so excited I almost forgot I was a pirate.  

Nothing dead to report, but I liked this:

  My knees and piriformis wanted a break.  I almost had a mutiny on my hands- we went to mediation and had to compromise on an extra hour in bed, then walking to the front room for another hour in the recliner.  At least I got that walk in :-)

Finally got an awesome run in with Wyatt.  It was totally worth waking up at 5 am on a Saturday for!!  We had so much to talk about that we could have run another 8 miles just to fit it all in.  Good reason for another run next weekend.

We stopped to stretch for a minute after mile 6, but other than that, just kept on running.  I was glad I was able to run the 8.  In fact, I didn't even realize we'd finished the 8 until she asked what we were at, and it was 8.1 so we walked to cool down the rest of the way back to her house.

Greek Festival for a treat in the afternoon.  Baklava sundaes are super awesome!!
