Happy 4th of July!  Went for a run with Wyatt to start the day off.  My legs were so stiff and sore from what I think was the p90x I did Saturday that it took every ounce of effort I had to made the 12 mm pace that first mile.  After mile 4, things finally starting feeling better.  

Not a lot of road-kill today.  In fact, I didn't see any at all.  But we did see a rabbit sitting in the middle of the water in a swampy area.  We thought it was a strange rock at first, but it was certainly a rabbit.  We threw some rocks near by to see if it was even alive.  On the third rock, it finally twitched it's ears.  What was wrong with that rabbit?

Two options: 1- It is a rare breed of swamp rabbit, or 2- It was bitten by a snake and was paralyzed in place and the snake was waiting for it to die.  The only thing it could move was it's ears.  I'm going to have nightmares about that poor snake.

Then, we got to see the p-town parade, and it was wonderful in all it's very specials ways that it can be wonderful.  I was so excited when a guy with a bag of candy stopped by along the parade route to see if my daughter wanted to ride on the back of his ATV and throw out candy along the parade route!  My baby was in the p-town parade.  (Yes, I did happen to know who the guy was, I'm a bad mother, but not an irresponsible one).

And then last the best of all, waiting in line for 20 minutes in 90 degree heat waiting for the oil to heat up so I could buy a delicious funnel cake.  It was worth it.

Tasty BBQ and swimming at Wyatt's house in the pm.  Perfect day!

1 hour on the elliptical followed by p90x legs & back.  Then housework & laundry.  I need a housewife to take care of these things for me.

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 :-)

6 recovery run miles with Wyatt.  Humidity is crazy lately.  It storms during the night, and leaves a cloudy wet fog all across the sky in the morning.  Didn't see any interesting critters.  Just some people out looking for their Chihuahua that had escaped.  Didn't see the dog either.  Hope they find him.

Ab Ripper X when I got home.  

Now I want a nap :-)

p90x stretch video.

I feel like it's time for a little break today.  At least until after I've had some ice cream.
