39:11 AP 9:48 I didn't think I'd be able to run today but how could I NOT? This weather is A-MA-ZING! I put Josie to bed and left Sydney in charge and took my phone. I wore capri tights and my SGM shirt. I'm so glad I traded for a men's medium so I can pull the sleeves over my hands. Beautiful blue sky, beautiful white mountains and warm temps!!! I ran around both parks. I tried to smile while I ran today. I read Steam 8's blog about smiling and I decided to try it. I think I looked dorky. I think it comes naturally for her and she looks great smiling while running. I did it anyway. I smiled and said hi to everyone I saw, and there were a lot of people out, not a lot of runners. I get excited when I see other runners and always say hi. I don't understand how someone can be running toward you pretend to not notice you and not say hi. Really? While running around Falcon I saw a guy running barefoot on the path and I said hi and he didn't. whatever.Still trying to smile, but then I got really annoyed. Of course there are a ton of people with dogs and I try to be patient and calm (don't like 'em, I've been bit a few times and chased after). I am respectful of other people with or without dogs and try to look ahead, switch sides of the path if I need to to make room for whoever is coming. So, today there was I think a mom and her two older daughters each walking there own little yappy dog, ( So 3 dogs) taking up the ENTIRE path. They totally see me coming but don't make eye contact do not move their little doggies one inch to make room for me so I run on the grass. So here's why I don't like to run onto the grass, a few minutes later, I do run on to the grass to make room for a stroller and four people trying to pass and I barely miss a big pile of DOG CRAP ! Blah!!! I come around the loop and practically get run over by barefoot running guy who is sprinting! I think I totally got in his way and of course I didn't try to say hi. Then comes the three ladies with the three dogs taking up the entire path again and they see me coming AGAIN for a good 20 feet and I'm way over to the left thinking MOVE YOUR STINK'IN DOG and she would not budge so I knocked her over as I ran by:) No, I didn't I just squeezed through and said "GEEZ!" Some people! There are some dog owners who are very respectful and I really appreciate them. Once on the JRP and once on the trail up to la caille I had owners who made their big, scary dogs SIT out of the way while I ran by. Wow. Thank you so much! These are two opposite extremes and most people in general, with dogs, are respectful and tighten the leash on the dogs and move over. Anyway, beautiful day! Just kicked the kids go out and play cause I can't get over how nice it is. Plank X3 for 2min, 1:30, 1min -Holy freak that extra 30 secs makes a huge diff! Ouch.
