Back in Abilene - I ran an 8:37 pace today.  Last mile was 9:05...I think I need to recalibrate my easy runs until I get back into shape, maybe 9:00 pace for a week or so.

I tried running without a shirt to beat the heat a little this morning.  I think it may have helped a little.  Don't think I caused any major accidents by blinding oncoming traffic with my ghostly torso, but I did run into a cluster of gnats at some point.  They stuck to me.

You know you are going to get asked for a photo after posting that one.

I hit the gnat army a couple of days last week. Once on the bike and the other running. Protein is good for runners!

If I don't blind the drivers, I guarantee you won't! :-)

Hmm, what's wrong with me? It didn't even occur to me to get out the camera.

Should be out here in eastern Idaho where we haven't seen the sun most of the spring. You could have helped out the potato crop........
