8 miles this morning. 1st miles as always straight up hill at about a 6% grade or more. I hate this mile. Next 3 slightly down, pretty good pace. Turned around and ran 3 miles up hill. Last mile I spotted a runner about 400 yards ahead of me. I don't see runners out here very often. Before I spotted the runner I was planning on running the last mile comfortable. Of coarse I couldn't contain myself and sped up to a 5:30 mile for the last mile. I had to show the other runner out there who's course he or she was on. I passed the runner like he or she was standing still. I noticed it was a female. I don't care, I'll take the victory. She was wearing a head set and about jumped out of her shorts when I passed her, "Pay Attention!".
Anyway, a pretty good run. Looking forward to an easy 20 mile bike ride tomorrow, hopefully with no wind. I'm going to go spend the day out on the lake checking fishing licenses and doing vessel inspections. Boaters beware!! |
