blast from the past

i got myself rolling in the late afternoon and headed south into the wind for a constitutional. the sky was sunny and temps were in the mid-50’s, which was awful pleasant. my route took me down comanche then east on the glacial drumlin then south along the fox river bicycle trail. i made my way past sunset avenue and hwy 59 continuing southbound to a county park. at 7 miles (and about 57 minutes) i made the turn around and headed home.

along the way home, i noticed a familiar stride of a runner ahead of me who was running with his dog. i pulled up along side of jamie and said hello. it was great catching up with him. we used to run together back a few years when he was running competitively. as of late, he’s been coaching his kids basketball teams and is working to get back into shape. his dog was a great pacer, always staying a few strides ahead of us. when the fox river trail met up with the glacial drumlin, i said goodbye and headed for home.

i rolled into my subdivision with 14 miles covered in 1:54 and change. i walked for a little bit then headed for the shower and dinner.
