Easy run.

6:16 am, 68° F, 62% humidity, winds calm, partly cloudy.

I had to drop my son off to go fishing with the scouts at 6:00 this morning, so I got dressed to run before I took him and then ran when I got home. That got my out the door early than I would have done otherwise.

About a mile into the run, I saw a guy doing push ups on the sidewalk and then he got up and walked away. A little later I had a close flyover by a flock of geese. Then I found a set of sprinklers and ran through the first one, and then they all turned off. I didn't get any more sprinklers for the rest of the run until the last mile. Then I was in my neighborhood and ran across three lawns with sprinklers on. A guy on a bike saw me on one of the lawns and smiled.

I ran for exactly one hour.

I've started this thing with my daughter lately. She's always up when I finish my run and I stand on my front porch and stretch after I run. While I'm stretching, she brings me paper towels to wipe the sweat off my face and water to drink. It's a pretty good system.
