7:30 am  Not a very early start, even though I awoke much earlier.  Ash wouldn't come because she had boingers in her hair, thus the helmet wouldn't sit properly.  Well, that was her spoken excuse, but really she just wanted to stay home and watch the tomfoolery of Phineas and Ferb.  So, I took to the trails, since she shuns climbing.  The run felt a lot like Saturday, but not quite as bad.  My work arrival time:  10:30.  I'm going for employee of the month!

6 am  4 warmup miles, then 7:10, 6:45, 6:45, 6:30, all plus or minus a few seconds.  We make a good little pack, bothering all the cyclists on Legacy Trail.  On the plus side, no puking.  On the minus side, headache.  But I stopped at Colonial to return some masonry anchors, and they have a free soda fountain.  I filled up my 32 oz powerade bottle with Dr. Pepper.

I know I ran one of these days, Wednesday or Thursday.  Hopefully I wore a garmin so I can sort it out later.

7:00 pm  Six with Jack in the stroller.  He's great to have along, especially if you are trying survey houses with flags, learning the abc's, how to count to 14, or want to know the lyrics to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

6:30 am with Ash on the bike.  She set a new distance record.  We had a real lightning scare by the Pages Lane trailhead.  Overhead power lines cross the road, and they always crackle and hiss.  We saw lightning to the west, and seemed to be running in the storm's path.  When we got down by those lines, the sound intensified and seemed to run back and forth, not just the usual hissing.  Then FLASHBOOM right at the same time.  It scared us pretty bad; Ash wanted to go home, but I was loathe to head east, the exact direction the storm was tracking.  So we went south on Legacy, leaving the lightning behind.  We made it to the splash pad, then made our way back via 500 South and Smiths for ice cream cones.  We tracked a rainbow for 40 minutes, watching it intensify and dim, going from streaks to full arch to double, to nothing.  This was one of the best runs ever.  I'm glad I talked her into coming along; it's much nicer to share than do solo.
