Faster Than Your Couch!
Breathe - yes, well, I could breathe early in the morning on my 10-mile tempo run. Not so much any more, allergies acting up, and temps quite high (84). Still a wonderful day, I might make it into a double tonight.
I saw a huge buck this morning, out on a lonely field in the fog, it was an awesome sight. I love starting out in the pitch black night and running into the sunrise. Lots of groundhog and bunnies around, too.
QOTD1: No. I think I might be a bit obsessive in many things I do, and running is one of them. No stopping other than for catching my breath, or recovering after a fall. Same with driving (my passengers probably could tell stories, and everybody rolls their eyes when they hear that I'll be the driver when we go visit my in-laws in Maryland...).
But, I do take in my surroundings "on the run" (which might lead to tripping and falling due to the rubbernecking, so that I can then take in the scenery a bit longer, LOL).
QOTD2: No. Just work - oh wait, I'm off on Sunday, so let's try something different, maybe a nice long run?
Run for fun.
Hello all! Last night was 7 sweat horse fly infused miles in stifling humidity on the trail. Really slow due to sweat fogged glasses and non-stop bug slapping. Today, hit the road for the first time in ages for a 6.5 dash then splash workout.
QOTD1: I stop sometimes, but not on a regular basis. Well, not quite true. I take short stops on the trail often for the dogs to drink and cool off in creeks, streams, lakes, ponds.
QOTD2: golf, maybe a 30 mile long run around BlueMarsh Lake on Sunday.
In dog beers, I've only had one.
Nothing today. I have to go to town and get the girls some school shoes.
QOTD 1: Yes. I do that all the time.
QOTD 2: Mom's birthday/retirement party tomorrow evening. Run in the morning. Church on Sunday, and I'll probably squeeze in a run late Sunday.

Didn't get up this am, still have company so lot's of partying and late nights. At work for the day.
QOTD1: All the time, I have a dog, he he stops I stop. Stop for views, animals, photo's or maybe to dance a jig if a good song comes on the ipod.
QOTD2: Company until tomorrow. I am driving to Sac to see/meet Maura an old RW forum friend (Ocomom). Our goal was to meet, run, and beer but I will have a kid and she will be at a party so we are just doing the party. Then Sunday...long run probably 20.
