Very tired after a busy morning.  I got up and headed for the pear orchard and picked for just over three hours.  Then headed home and went for a run with Ryan.  It was hot out and I was pretty tired/hungry when I started to it was a little bit of a struggle.  We ended up running 10 miles west of town with a couple stops along the way (bathroom, drinking fountain).  Another day in the books.

Ran through Fruitdale (6 miles) and then to the HS to run barefoot on the football field.  Managed to run 3 miles while watching all the Freshman be walked through high school orientation.  The all looked thrilled to be back in school...

Then I made my way home with a few detours in-between.  A car nearly ran me off the road while I was crossing Savage St in the crosswalk.  He called me 'names' so I changed course and followed him.  He got way ahead of me but I guess correctly which street he turned on--turns out he was dropping his kid off at a church daycare while sucking back on cigarettes the entire time.  Real winner, that one.  I stopped and asked him if he wanted to say anything else to me.  We exchanged a few ideas.  I complimented him on being father of the year and a few things of that nature, then we went our separate ways.  Probably shouldn't have but some mornings I can't help myself...

12 miles this morning with a 5 mile tempo to finish off the morning. I ran west to the intersection of Redwood Highway and Jerome Prarie which was 5 miles. I turned around and after 1 more mile, started a 5 mile tempo. 5:47, 5:52, 5:34, 5:28, and 5:10. Not as fast as Jake but not many people are. ;-) 1 more mile easy to the house and then called it a morning. Back to the grind tomorrow. These 2 weeks have been awesome being home. Pure awesomeness...

10 miles in Springfield.  I ran from the hotel to Costco, then looped back via Coburg Rd and the mall.  Felt good but it was a little rough running in the dark. :)  First time I've done that in a couple weeks.  And sadly, life is back to normal...

13 miles around GP after dropping my car off to get serviced. I ran west to all sports park, then looped back past th HS and Walmart before returning to pick up my car. I discovered a new street/section of town behind Walmart and M street. I thought after living here for 19 months and running 5,000 miles, I had run on just about all of them. Pleasant surprise to find a new one.

As for the run, pretty much felt blah the whole way. Not tired, sore, hurt, painful, etc. Just blah.
