Seeking a better country...

BST to Freedom hills, a couple loops around the park then home the harder way.  What a beautiful morning, especially the temps.  It reminds me I want to move to Flagstaff.

Same run as Monday, but in the evening.  Temp was pretty good.  Max came along to check out the repair work on his mountain bike.  Everything seems to be in order.  I didn't have it.  My legs felt slow, and with no ipod, all I could hear was my breathing and shuffling.  It made me feel slower and slower.  I got home well after dark to enjoy some popsicles and an episode of The Office I had never seen. 

I didn't get home from work until 9.  My wife kindly sent me out for a run.  This run was a good choice, but a bit of a chore.  It was a run of smells; wildfire, saw-cut wood, honeysuckle, petunias, some disgusting honey bucket, watermelon.  The mountain top is glowing orange in the dark.  It was kind of mesmerizing to look up there and see the flames.  

I woke up around 6:45, ate some toast, and was off by 7:00.  I had to get Ash some cereal too.  I knew I wanted to run a bit farther today, but didn't have a specific route in mind.  I ended up at Jennie P and ran 15 laps barefoot around the field.  Then I put my shoes back on, and headed north.  I got a drink at smoot, ran to the end of Cville, and headed back home.  By now the sun was up full, and I was too hot.  I needed my utility belt with some sugar.  I was totally depleted, and barely moving along.  Funny thing, I carried a cliff shot the whole time, but I couldn't force myself to gag it down.  That was a mistake.  Overall pace was 8:05.
