Ran to Farmington and back in the dark with Annie in the jogging stroller.  She didn't stop talking the whole time.  I told her I was out of breath, and couldn't talk.  I turned on my ipod to drown out her prattle.  She continued talking, and talking and talking.  In north Centerville there are a few acreages with sheep and cows.  She told me they stink.  She "saw" eggs and poop in the road, that's why it was so stinky.  She pointed out every Halloween light, decoration, window, etc.  Did I mention she didn't stop talking the whole time? 

The night was perfect--shorts and a t-shirt were 100% comfortable.  I left my Garmin in my dad's car from the camping trip, so numbers aren't available.  With the jogging stroller, I kept an 8-8.5 minute pace.

I finally got out the door to run at 9 p.m.  Ran hard for a couple miles, then met up with my son for his "first" run.  We went another four.  I let him set the pace, which ended up around 7:50.  I guess all the tennis got him in pretty good shape over the summer.  We decided our "finish line" well in advance.  I was happy to let him win.  Maybe he'll keep coming on runs with me...

I think my shoes are spent.  Every time I'v run for the past couple weeks, my hips, knee and especially my lower leg (tibia or fibia?  it's the lateral bone that's connected to the ankle bone) feel sore.  It all goes away within a 1/2 hour of ending the workout, but I've never been sore there before during a run.  I guess it's time to visit the ATM and see what DeBoer has...or Striders.
