10 miles. avg pace 7:20.
At the end of my run I saw a little fire under a truck in a parking lot. I ran over and was going to try and put it out with my shirt if I could. I got there and saw that the front of the truck was burning as well. A policeman arived seconds later and just watched, which surprised me because I am sure he had a fire extinguisher in his car, and at that point it looked like it could have been put out with a fire extinguisher. A few minutes later a fire truck arrived. I was also surprised by them taking their sweet time to get their hoses out and put out the fire. I know it wasn't an emergency, but still a little gitty-up would have been nice to see. Also a lady was hurrying to try and move her car away from the scene (she was about 20 feet from the truck and probably believes the HOLLYWOOD hype that cars just explode when they are on fire) she thought she was in drive but was in reverse and slammed her car into a truck parked behind her. She pulled forward a little then got out to check the damage, I just looked at her with a "You have got to be kidding me stare". She decided the damage wasnt bad and drove away.
This was a very exciting way to cool down after a run.
