8 on the 8th


I was able to join in on Nancy's virtual race this morning before work. I just used it as a little bit of a longer easy run. It was nice to get up a little earlier then normal and run past some of the houses that I have started to believe are waiting for me to come by in the morning so they can let their little ankle biting dogs out to do their business. And that normally leads to chasing me for half a block while barking in a very high pitched manner. I guess it tends to make some of my morning runs fartlek style. Bounus! Anyway I think I caught them all of guard due to it was a dog free jog. Time 59:13.

59:13 ?? 8 miles in 59 min? You mean 8 miles in less than an hour. Shhhhesssh! What did you have to eat the night before the 8th? Bet you had a bowl of baked beans and the flatulence might have works like a propeller. That might explain your speedy run you've had. Baked beans = Turbo boost !

All red for China?

Glad no dogs were out. I tried to ban them from the course. Thanks so much for joining in the fun!!

Nice run. Nothing puts a jump in the step like a growling animal, I say.
