Slow miles	Fast miles	Total Distance

AM: 75F, 94%. 6 @ 7:55 AP. Some large, loose neighborhood dogs started following me after a tenth of a mile or so, until we came upon a lady walking her tiny dog, at which point they left me to harass them...so I went to help. Then the lady was pretty angry at "my" loose dogs and it was very little consolation when I said they weren't mine. So, like the pied piper, I led them to the unpopulated side of the neighborhood where they're still building streets, and they got tired over there.

Some people cannot be helped. Doing a lot of doubles lately, I see. Those are the hardest thing for me -- I lack character.

I'm trying for 80-90 miles a week (and failing for the most part) and splitting it up into doubles is easier on me than running singles...so it's probably me that is short on character.

No good deed goes unpunished.
