Humid just begins to describe the wet air outside today. My garmin battery shut down just as I was headed out the driveway. I decided to just run as I was. I checked the time when I left, and when I got back. Total time was 1:47, and I ran around 10 miles and walked about 1/2 mile. I did some fartleks from mile 2.5 to mile 5.5. I ran between the power poles fast/easy/fast/easy. I had to walk a bit after finishing the fartleks. I stopped and stretched a couple of times too, adjusting the knee brace once. I was glad I had it on today. Just about the time I started walking, this dog started following me. He never barked once.  He seriously just wanted to run circles around me. Which is what he did for the next 5 miles, all the way home. I am not sure which house he came from, and he doesn't have any tags on his collar. But what he lacks in identification and brains, he makes up with the number of fleas jumping on him. He is a cute dog, but I don't want a dog. He ran out in front of cars while I was running. He tripped me twice as he ran right into my legs, and tried to lick me too many times. He's hanging out in my yard right now waiting for animal control to come pick him up. If someone wants a cute, friendly, not so smart dog, let me know. I'll mail him to you.
Legs are tired. I keep thinking they'll get stronger and quit feeling so tired. Maybe they need a couple days of rest.....or some ice cream. I'll try the ice cream first :-)
