Dogs in the road!

20 July 2009

Almost didn't get up and run this morning.  I figured it could wait until this evening, but then I worried that there'd be thunderstorms in the evening.  Then I thought about how much work I have to do (I'm doing it now), then I was awake, so I got up.

Ran six miles in a light rain.  Temp was in the mid 70's, so not too bad.  I felt pretty good, and didn't check my watch until the turn around.  On the way back I stopped to help this guy round up his dogs that were playing on the highway.  He was skinny and tweaked out and a little scary.  The dogs were nice, though, and it only took a minute or two to get them.  I handed him the little spaniel cross, and he said, "Broke the f#$@ing rope!"  I don't think he meant me, but I wasn't 100% on that. His eyes were wide and bulging, and his bones stuck out from everywhere they could.  He kept talking, but I just turned and ran away.  I don't think he was talking to me anyway.

I felt good, and still finished U9.  Did some stretching (as always) and some push-ups and core work.

6.1 miles (including dog wrangling)
53:41
8:48/mile

Mike: likes pina coladas AND getting caught in the rain.
