| | I set the alarm to go off at 4am and hit the 5-min. snooze until 4:20am. Then I got up and got ready to go. After a little bit I noticed that my body was rebelling against my apparent need to be up so early. I hit the toilet and tried to be as efficient as possible because I didn't want to be late getting to Brad's house. Brad lives half a mile away, and by the time I got out the door it was 4:57am. So I was only a couple of minutes late, but he was waiting for me at the corner. We started out maybe a little too fast for him. He had to walk a couple of times, but he told me that I inspired him to run farther than he would have on his own. We had a fun talk, but we always do. Oh, except that time we came home from camping and I had car sickness. I wasn't much for conversation then. We ran from his corner up to Broadway, over to the canal, down the canal where I introduced him to the drinking fountain, down to Southern, up Los Alamos, across Pueblo, and back up 32nd to his corner. It was probably just over 3.2 miles, but I stopped my Garmin both times we walked. Then I ran back home and got just over 4 miles in all together. Brad is one of my dearest friends and has been since we met in college. Brad was adopted and is not really sure about his heritage, but he may very well be black. He has a 7 year old boy with Down Syndrome. We've already decided that our children are getting married. We used to play the Movie Quotes game on our lunch break when we worked together. The only chance I'd have a beating him was when I teamed up with Alexis and we used our combine scores. But even then he'd usually win. One of our favorite movies we like to quote is O Brother Where Art Thou. When all else fails and we run out of stuff to talk about, we just start quoting that movie. Time - 41:06 (avg. pace 10:07) Splits - 9:41, 10:23, 10:37, 9:49, 0:33
