I actually got up before 6am today.  I was out the door and running by 6:32am.  It was warm, but not bad.  I was running slow, as normal.  I was heading north on the Floodway path and I saw a girl running pretty quickly on the RWCD Canal road with her dog.  When she got to Brown Road she turned around and started walking.  I was catching up to her and wondering if she would start running again, because I knew I wouldn't be able to stay up with her.  Then I recognized her.  She's one of my daughter's friends from the ward.  Her mother was up until recently the Relief Society President.  She seemed like she didn't want to make eye contact with me, but I said hi to her anyway.  She told me good morning.  All the way down at the other end of the road I could see two more people which I quickly deduced were her little brother, who was one of my cub scouts, and her aforementioned mother.  I love that word.  Aforementioned.  Can't use it enough to make me sound cool.  Anyway, the former RSP reached Adobe and turned around.  I was closing in on my scout when he decided to turn around presumedly to run with his mom.  I yelled, "Keep up the good work!"  Then his mom said, "Momma boot camp.  He's not liking it."  I gave her a high five for that.

It's so hard to get up early anymore, but at least it's somewhat cooler running if you do? Hey Burt, what races have you got planned for 2019 and how close are to running a marathon in close to 4 hours?

Hey Tom. I'm getting old. My goal of a 4 hour marathon will have to be put on the back burner until I start dieting and losing weight again. Right now I can't even run one mile that would be what I would need to average for a 4 hour 26.2. I'm mostly just doing Ragnars. Occasionally I will jump in a 5k, but it's all random. No plans.
