end of august…already
this morning i got out at 5AM and headed on a 9 mile loop. about 3 miles into the run, a black cat crossed my path. now, at 5:24AM any cat is going to look black but i’m not too superstitious so i carried on. shortly after 4 miles a raccoon crossed my path and gave me a disparaging stare as i ran by before disappearing into the brush. i weaved my way through bethedsa park as the sun was coming up and took a pit stop when i was on the glacial drumlin trail. as i continued down the trail, i chased off a few rabbits that were wandering about. they must be brave because they don’t move until i’m within a few strides of them. finally, i made my way up commanche and finished the effort with an average pace of 8:15 per mile.
for the month, i ended up with 201 miles. YTD i’m into the 1400’s and on track for a 2000 mile year. for the week, i’m at 40 miles with a 10 mile run planned for saturday with my dad.
