Ravings and Blather

Went out at 8:30 pm for a rare evening run...but long day at the hospital and couldnt resist the slightly cooler temps after the rain.  Need a treat! 

Went with a friend of mine to Pipeline trail this afternoon, was going to run 6 but had to walk a bunch of the last 2 because he was getting overheated in the afternoon sun.  Great outdoor venture though.  Will try to get a longer run in this weekend.

Pipeline trail this morning from Burch Hollow to Elbow Fork and back.  I was proud of myself for continuously "running" the uphill to elbow.  Usually I have to walk some of those stretches...now I was going very slow but a moral victory nonetheless.  Tried to push it on the downhill, ran into a deer just standing on the middle of the trail, only about 15 feet away from me, we startled each other about the same time...love at first sight...actually she took off..avg 9:45 or so

Extended Big Titty Loop this late hot sweaty morning.  I knew I was in trouble when I realized I had put my running shorts on inside out.  I was overheated almost from the beginning.  Didnt feel good for most of this run, just sucky lower back fatigue and flagging energy, also one of those days the music was boring on the ipod, I need a new bunch of songs.  Anyway, needed a desperate potty break at mile 8 and found a porta potty, but luckily noticed there was no toilet paper before got started.  SO dying a slow death for the next mile until another lovely porta surfaced...it may have been a mirage, but at least I imagined that there was TP and all.  Finally home... slow dog avg of 9:30
