There she is, out grazing in the fields again!  Went to the track tonight just to get a couple of miles in so I didn't have to post another day of no running. My son came with me and rode his bike on the asphalt area around the track. The Track Nazi would have had his head for riding ON the track. I was only worried about the Nazi since there was a field hockey game going on at the stadium next to the track. Otherwise, I would have told him to ride in Lane 1, go as fast as he could, and skid. (JUST KIDDING!) Felt good to run again. When I was running, I was keeping about an 8:50 pace. I'd have to stop occasionally to help my son or run slow while he ran with me. There were several people there. Every time my son would see me coming up behind him while he was riding, he'd stop and put his hand out for me to slap. A couple of times, he'd yell out "Dad, you're an awesome runner! or Go Dad, you're a real runner!" It made me feel good since I was keeping it really slow most of the time. I did a couple of pickups for a lap or so to feel fast. Without seminary, I'm getting soft in getting up early. I should be getting up like I was to take my daughter to seminary and then just going for my run. I've got to get my act together. Summer is quickly approaching and running in the heat of mid-day is not much fun, but will be my reality if I have to run during my lunch hour at work. Not that I've had one for about 3 weeks due to work demands. Sigh...
