Easy walk/run tonight. The walk came first; my wife decided to venture out of the house for some rare exercise and asked me to accompany her, which I gladly did. About 150 yards down the sidewalk, turn around and return. It was dark and Pam doesn't know the neighborhood sidewalks yet, so my night vision/sidewalk experience helped her; there are a couple of places you could trip if you don't avoid the hazards. Dropped her off back at the house and left for a solo recovery run. Solo, that is, except for the reappearance of the crazy black dog in the park. He's going to bite me sooner or later, unless I get a rock, some pepper spray or a .22 pistol. I wish it did any good to call animal control, but they're not going to go out in a park at 9:00 at night, and he's not out there during daylight hours.
Legs were still quite heavy from last night's MP/tempo run. I thought they'd loosen tonight after a few miles, but they didn't. Still managed to maintain a mediocre 9:50 pace without any visits from the walk monster.
Couple of days before I return to central Arkansas, rejoin the Crackheads for a morning, and celebrate Mumber and Pupe's 50th wedding anniversary. Sheesh, fitty years is a LONG time. |
