I ran with Larry and Wayne this morning. It was great to have Wayne after him missing a few runs. We wandered around for four miles, then followed the 5K course at about an
8:30/mi pace, then ran home for a total of about 7.4 miles. I guess my hat has become part of my running persona. When I went out to meet Larry and Wayne they asked if it was really me because I didn't have my hat on and I always wear my hat. When I realized I didn't have it on (it's a very comfortable hat so I often forget I'm wearing it) I asked them to wait while I went back in for it. I love my hat. It keeps the heat in when it's cold; keeps me cool, shades my eyes, and protects my bald head when it's hot; helps keep my glasses clear when it's raining; makes me more visible (it's white); I use the bill to shield headlights from my eyes in the dark; and most important of all, I think I look pretty good in it (and maybe it makes me look a little taller).
Sorry Novell guys, but I won't be running at noon again today. I plan to return to running most Mondays and Wednesdays at noon. I just wanted to focus on the neighborhood run this week, and to support Larry as he also prepares for it.
