| | What better way to start off 2018 than by putting another (ex) blogger on my list of BIMIRL? Slow Joe happened to be in AZ for the new year and on his way back to the airport from Tucson, I was able to meet him face to face for a few minutes. He looked just like I imagined he would from the hundreds of pictures I've seen him in. He thanked me graciously for driving out to meet him, and I thanked him because it would give me the opportunity to run South Mountain. You know the run, Tracy. So after the warm embrace of a handshake, we parted ways; he to the rental car return facility, and I to South Mountain. But guess what, Clark? Florida was closed! How can you close a mountain? So instead of running there, I went all the way to Usery. It was a bit brisk this morning, but not bad. Still shorts and T-shirt weather. The air is bad in the Valley from all the fireworks last night, but it was clean out here on the outskirts. I saw one runner coming up as I was driving down. I was jealous that someone was running my route, because there aren't a lot of runners that do this. There were a couple dozen cyclists out too that I had to share the shoulder with. My legs felt ok, but after a while I really started to wear out, so I decided to turn around at 2 miles. Downhill was faster, but it still felt like I had to work it. On the way down one of the cyclists said, "Good job. Keep pushing it." Now normally you don't push it on the downhill because the hill does the work for you. But he was right. Today he was right.
