cooler morning- 75 degrees but lots of huimidity. avg pace 9:22.  I had to borrow MR's garmin since my battery was dead.  I didn't get splits, but I'm happy with the pace.

ran around my hood this am with Wyatt.  less humid and it felt nicer than it has in the morning in a long time.

shoveled mulch for an hour- cross training :-)

early run by myself.  I wanted to run around 8, but just after mile 6 my knee popped a couple of times so I stopped running & walked.  While I was walking, I noticed this guy right on my path.  I'm wondering if I would have noticed him if I was running (I'm not always paying attention). It might be hard to see, but he's a copperhead.  MR said it looks like he just ate, so that's probably why he just hung out there & didn't bother with me.  I stayed far away anyway.

26 miles on the bike.  I rode at a pace that was a real workout for me for 1 hour.  It ended up only being 16 miles per hour.  I have no idea how Brent goes 24mph for 1 hour.  In my defense, I'm not riding a road bike.  But I did get a good workout.  After the first hour, I slowed down and enjoyed the rest of the ride home.  It took me 50 minutes to ride the next 10 miles home, but I got to see lots of pretty crops growing, the cows, the horses, and got lost for a little while on a dirt road that I thought was a short cut.

Here's some pix I took along the way:

1- one less dog to chase me on the roads...poor fella

2- morning glory growing along the corn stalks

3-Cotton flower blooming

4-sorghum plants (it's grown for a sweetner that's like molasses...kind of). It's really only about 3 feet tall.

32.6 miles on the bike with MR.  Pace was slower than yesterday, but it was for 2 hrs 22 minutes total riding time.  My avg pace was around 14 mph.  We explored new roads and found out where some roads went that we'd passed by before.  Rode by a farm stand selling peaches, and I almost stopped to get one to eat.  I wish I would have; I'll be those peaches were delicious!

We saw a giant moth at the ghetto gas station we stopped to get water at (yes, those are bars on the windows).

We found a treasure as well, but it was the kind of treasure you leave behind and just take photos of for proof.  I shall call her Soysan, after the soy bean field we found her in....too bad it wasn't a cabbage field!

There was a can of yellow paint next to her, and an old oriental looking rug.  I'm sure there's a good story there.  Any ideas?
