This morning Tom had to get in a longer, quicker run and the gal who is starting to run with me once in a while is out of town. So I decided that since I would be running alone anyway, I might as well get an extra hour of sleep and go out a bit later. I thought maybe I could talk Jansen into joining me, but that was a no go. He was enjoying his teenage slumber. My Garmin's battery died in the first mile, so I made sure to stick with my 6.1 loop so I at least know the distance. As far as pace, I probably went a bit faster than I was suppose to. But when I am alone, I hate to mope around. Three fun observations of the day....Two of the huge windmills at the mouth of Sp. Fork canyon were up and running today! Kind of cool to see them in motion. I don't know if they are in full swing or just testing them at the moment. One thing for sure, there WAS wind for them and for me. Another thing I enjoyed was the GREEN mountains! We usually see white, snow covered mountains, brown, dried up mountains or black, burned up mountains in these parts! It's so refreshing to see green! And finally, it was fun to pass a farmer and his son out cutting the hay with an old fashioned sickle (sp?). Their clothing and tools were just as if they were thrown here from 100 years ago! |
