Nothing today and nothing yesterday. But I will get out there tomorrow. Fridays are usually rest days along with Mondays, but I used Thursday and Friday this week because of my schedule.

QOTD: I don't care for either one. But if I had to choose, I would say a cat because they tend to be low maintenance. I just don't want to be bothered with taking care of an animal, unless it is a cow or something that can either provide food or cash somewhere down the road. I guess you could eat a dog or a cat if you were hungry enough; in fact, I think I may have eaten cat on a stick from a street vendor in Japan once, but I can't be sure. Anyway, I did run into a guy on the trail earlier this week who had a dog. The freaking thing jumped up and nosed me right between the legs, hard. Crap!!!!

4-7 around the hood once it gets dark and if I haven't drank too too much.

QOTD: Cats because dogs are not allowed in our apartment.  We have a 6-toed cat that's a real weirdo and has a knack for cracking me up.

Good Evening,

Turning up late again. Work and life seem to take over a big part of my running ambitions now, but as long as they are pleasant, or fun activities, I don't mind too much.

My neighbor brought over three giant zucchini squashes, so I spent the hot day baking three loaves of zucchini bread and one batch of zucchini brownies. Neighbor will get one loaf of the breads as a thank you for providing the essentials.

Not much in terms of running. I tried out my new headlamp last night, and it worked well, although the combination of hat and lamp did not go together too well. The visor of the hat is too wide and blocks out too big of an area of the light cone for long-time night running, but for the test, it was ok. The lamp itself is great, only thing I noticed is that it seems to bounce quite a bit when it is facing down in the most-tilted position. Never noticed this with my old lamp, but it may also be that I just did not notice it then because the light was by far not as bright. I'll try it again with a different hat, maybe my winter hat (that I'm planning to wear on that 100-miler all-night run), and then decide whether I'll keep the lamp, or get a different model.

QOTD: Both. I grew up with cats, and my grandparents had dogs. Had dogs for many years as a young and not-so-young adult, but our current rental agreement does not allow dogs.   So we have two cats now, which I got 12 years ago, when DD was little and wanted to have them for dear life. I brought them over from Europe when we moved here.

With dogs, I like their playfulness, their intelligence, their endurance, their loyalty, and their determination. Great friends, and they teach you a lot, especially if you have them before you have kids and a family.

With cats, I like their independence, their gentleness, their grace, their cuddliness, and their poise. Great friends, too, and they teach you a lot about yourself.

strength training this evening, had to join a gym (400 miles is probably too far to travel to my old gym ) this one is pretty nice as it's 24 hour

qotd: I've had/have both, but probably more of a dog person- I'd probably prefer neither as pets simply tie you down no matter what, but my DW I don't think would be w/o one or the other (or both)

I hope you thank that dog. 

It was unexpected and a little rough. I just said "bad girl" and went on my way.
