Notes
Even though I love the warm wx, I will not pretend to like how the weather was for this run. The temperatures weren't that bad, but the air was heavy and very still. Normally, this is my tempo run day. I felt good this afternoon and was ready to head on out when Dan and I met at the trail. After the first mile or two though it was pretty clear by how I was feeling that this would not be a good day to try to pull out any type of speed work. Maybe I was tired from not getting a lot of sleep, or maybe it was the weather, or who knows what else. I don't know & it doesn't really matter. Dan wanted to run easy anyway, and I agreed at that point. We headed out to Scott and back, and it really wasn't very easy at all. Still, though, these paces aren't exactly easy paces for me anyway so it was a bit of an effort even though it wasn't speed, tempo or distance. The mile splits for a crappy run day for me are still decent so I'll be pleased enough. There was one point on the run when Dan did change his mind and decided to do some speed work. Amazingly, a girl rode by on her bike wearing only little lace maroon panties on her bottom. She did have a shirt on, but the rear view shot was rather striking to say the least, and I came pretty close to losing my running partner. If this is a new type of trail attire I'm afraid we all might lose a little focus and it could create some disharmony in the ranks.
