RUN 3 miles in about 30 mins
I got up at 5, walked the dog at 630, didn't start running until 715. WTF did I do all morning?
Well I started listening to a Tolkien podcast about The Hobbit, then pulled out my copy of the book, started reading... But DAMN I'm good at wasting time!
I left and followed my plan of to LP, to BP, to TGP, to work. I added a loop at LP and BP to reduce the planned number of loops in TGP. This worked, I didn't skip much as I added 1 mile to my plan!
While running towards BP, I overheard what I thought was a postal worker say "Baby we need more weather like this!" and I have to agree. It rained over night, and cool temps are still in the area.
In this run, I decided that there should be a word for the raindrops that cling to leaves after a rain, that fall when post-storm winds knock them down, with the sun shining creating a sparkly tree rain, and when you run under them a light patter of rain is heard around you and touches the skin in cool drops...
While running around BP, I saw a playground bee like the one at MiTi!
Then I checked to see if the downspout at my potential new home was fixed...not yet. But they still have time.
That was my first hour. Then off to TGP, where I ran (where I always run, I should say) the bird trail and saw this
Great run in, didn't anything in-run but did have a big M1 beforehand. When I got to work, I realized that the planned recovery meal of eggs and roasted tomatoes was not there like I thought. Then my back up plan of canned sardines wasn't there either. Nuts. So I had to dig into lunch, I ate about half and saved the rest for later at my lunch with TV. I stopped by the cafe and got a small salad with a lot of raisins. But I was hungry all day!

The run home: easier than I thought it would be! I used to really struggle with the afternoon run.
