Talk about sweaty dust. This morning I got up at 4:30am to go to my sister-in-law Suzie's house in Chandler to wheelbarrow rock to her backyard. My brother-in-law Curtis, not Suzie's husband, gave me, my boy, and his friend a ride over there. I shoveled some. I pushed a few wheelbarrows. But I mostly spread the rock. There ended up being seven of us on the job, so it didn't take long. But it started to get dusty from all the rock dumping, and I was working up a sweat. Before I knew it my brand new white Puma running shirt was a tannish brown hue. At 7am we were done. I declined the donuts and milk and with a Tropical Blend Gatorade in one hand and my water bottle in the other I started on my way. I got lucky as the sun stayed behind the clouds for most of the run. I kept the pace nice and slow. My HR was 272. Wait, I don't wear a heart monitor. That was my IQ. As I approached mile 6 I decided it was okay to finish off my fluids because I could stop at Freestone Park and refill. At mile 8.5 Curtis came driving by. I don't know if he was worried I wouldn't make it and came looking for me or what. At mile 9.9 the sprinklers were on at the park near the canal. Remember that park Tracy? I ran through them. It was like a dream come true. I ran by the bench were I saw a vagrant sleeping the other day. It's a brand new bench, and he's already staked his claim! Wish I would have claimed it. But you snooze, you lose. Or in his case, you snooze, you win. Time - 1:42:22 (avg. pace 9:58) Splits - 9:13, 9:38, 9:44, 9:47, 9:57, 10:04, 10:11, 10:03, 10:19, 10:30, 2:58 Temp - 91
