11th-Shore Drive, still real cool and cloudy. My knee was bothering me at the start and on the first few hills, but as it warmed up I felt a little better. Maybe because some hip soreness took over. It's aches and pains week, I guess. The muscle on my knee had loosened up
by the end so I was able to run pretty free, still took it pretty easy. 37:02.

I've now played dog-catcher twice. My deadbeat neighbors haven't noticed that their fence comes open when it's windy, so I've had to corral their two big dogs before starting my run the last two days. Yesterday was a little scary because they started growling at me, but today they thought it was playing. What puzzled me about today was the other neighbors were outside (they live across the street from the dog people) and were yelling and screaming about the dogs before I showed up. They didn't even know what house the dogs belonged to, even though their kitchen window and driveway looks directly at the yard where the dogs sit all day. Helloo? Safe to say I won't ask them to watch my house when I'm out of town.
