Time 1:00:01 AP 8:57 Best mile- 5 in 8:27 I went to bed really late for me. 11:45pm. I woke up without alarm at 5am. Went back to sleep until 6am and the ROAD was calling my name. Haven't run outside since the last good Saturday in November, 3 weeks I think.I thought there must either be a storm coming in or just really bad inversion cause of the cloud cover. I ran up toward the mountain as always. I was fun to see all the Christmas lights! At mile 3 I decided to tuck in my under shirt and figured there was no one around since there usually isn't. I had seen two people up to this point. I keep running up a hill as I'm trying to tuck my tight shirt into my tight bottoms and get to the top of the hill and glance to my right and there's a person running right there on the other side of the street. I think it was a guy, not sure. I was a little embarrassed, not that I had even shown skin or anything (had outer clothing on of course) but, that's something you usually do in private. I was surprised, embarrassed and then decided to race all within a matter of seconds. So I sped up and beat him/her? to the end of the street. I took my music and was glad I did. I just figure the boogyman is asleep when I'm running at 6am. My legs were sore. Don't know if that's from the fast run two days ago on the treadmill or just running outside again. My hammies were hurting by the end. Maybe it's cause I was trying to run fast. Had to get home and take Jane to piano. My right big toe has been hurting since that TM run. I'm thinking that toenail will be gone soon. Seems to be taking forever. Felt so good to get back outside! I looked at Costco for Snowtrax and they were out. I think I'll order the yaktrax online and say it's a Christmas present to me. Need them now!
