Go, you chicken fat, go away!

I texted Mike yesterday to see if he wanted to go running.  Mike has an air conditioning company, so he's super busy in the summer.  He told me we'd have to go super early.  I said that's fine by me.  He came and got me at 4:00am and we got to Usery at 4:30am to start our run up the hill.  Mike hasn't run since two weeks after Ragnar when he did the Phoenix Half Marathon. But he still is faster than me.  I had to borrow one of his headlamps.  I actually think it's my old headlamp that I lost.  Hmmmm...  Anyway I stayed close to him for longer than usual.  I felt pretty good until about 1.75 miles.  Then I started to feel a little sluggish, but I know that after 2.5 miles, it gets easier.  But I still had thoughts about turning around when Mike was coming back.  The only problem was Mike was only about a half mile ahead of me, which means when he came back, I was only a quarter mile from the top.  So I went to the top, and turned around.  It was a nice run, but my legs werer feeling it.  The sun came over the top of the mountain at about 5:30 am.
