| | It's good to be back in the 'hood, where it's shorts and T-shirt weather year round. I went to bed late and woke up with a headache. I finally got outside at 9am, but then I talked with my neighbor for a while. They did the BOSA donut challenge as a family. Still bummed that I couldn't do it this year. Anyway, I finally started at 9:25am. I felt ok, despite only running three days last week and eating everything. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I weigh the same or less than I did before I left on vacation. Not sure how that happened. Maybe my scale is broken.

| | I turn 46 today. So naturally I need to run 46 miles. How about 4.6 miles? Yeah, I'll do that instead.

| | I skipped yesterday. Busy at work again. When I got to the Floodway I saw a lady walking her dog. As I got closer I saw that she was wearing a Ragnar McDowell Trail shirt. She said good morning, and I said, "I think I have that shirt." She said, "Yeah. Ragnar." Good story.
I think Jeff has moved about a quarter mile south now. That's where I've seen him the last couple of times. I think he has a sleeping bag now, so that's good. He asked if I had my wallet with me today. Nope. Sorry.

| | It was me, Vickie, Maggie, and Mike this morning. I went to bed last night feeling kinda sick. Achy all over. Luckily I woke up feeling better. I thought it might be cold this morning, so I wore some long running pants. It wasn't cold. It was perfect. I was hoping for a good run today because for whatever reason, hurt back, being sick, I haven't been able to run very well on a Saturday run lately. I did feel good, so it was nice. Vickie and Maggie were the first to leave, but they didn't get a very big head start on us. Mike left just after me. Mike caught me seconds before I caught Vickie at the 0.4 mile mark. I could only see Maggie when a car came by because she was wearing all black and had no reflective gear or lights. I finally caught her around 0.75 miles. I couldn's sneak up on anyone today because I was wearing a brand new headlight, and it was quite bright. For the last few weeks, I've seen on Strava that Mike always goes a little bit further than the top. So today I wanted to get more distance than him so I kept going. He must've known or something because he ended up with 7.6 miles. Jerk! I headed back down and was surprised to see Maggie wasn't too far behind. I was maybe half a mile ahead of her. She hardly runs, but if she did, she could be faster than me. Then I saw Vickie and I was about three quarter of a mile ahead of her.
I was feeling good, and was hoping for a fast time. It was the fastest I've done all year, but not as fast as I thought it would be. Oh well. Mike usually beats me by a mile, but it was only 0.9 miles today. I texted the girls to see if they wanted us to pick them up or finish. Maggie didn't respond, but Vickie said it was up to us. So we drove up and found Maggie about three quarters of a mile away. She said she wanted to finish. So we drove up and got Vickie and drove back down. She ended up with 6.32 miles. Also, we never see horses when Maggie comes :(
