I finally got David Hasselhoff to shave FRB into his chest hair. Don't ask me how.
********************************************
Another long Thursday run! I drove to a local supermarket and parked my vehicle. Then I got out, made like I was going to walk inside, turned and walked out to the street, stretched a little, and took off home.

Splits:
1 mile - 7:43
2 mile - 7:45

That last mile and a half was killer. Serious lack of feul. I started having doubts after 6 miles, but then I thought, "If I have my wife come get me, I'll probably be able to run another 2 miles before she even gets to me. Then I'll only have 2 miles to go, and that will be lame." I decided to tough it out. When I got to where I had about 2.6 miles to go I got excited and knew I could make it. I'm pretty sore right now and don't have much of an appetite for the delicious salmon and rice dinner my wonderful wife cooked. She's the best. (I need to let her know there's a reason I'm not eating, and it has nothing to do with her cooking.) ((She does cook really well on the serious side.))
Why do we blog our runs? For prosperity? To keep track of our training? Are we social butterflies? Are there stories to be told, memories to keep? The most memorable part about tonight's run was seeing this thing lying along the side of the road. It was a familiar shape, and I saw it while I was driving this morning, too. I thought, "It can't be that." I made up my mind that it was a rusty old trailer hitch. But as I ran by it this evening, it was unmistakable. While I can't say what it was, because this is a family safe site, I can say that I have never seen one in real life. It was terrifying. That's all for now. | |
