Today’s Run:  20.50 miles

Today we ran.  And ran.  And ran…20.50 miles we ran.  For four hours and 30 minutes we ran.  And then we stopped.

What an absolutely perfect morning to run.  It was 58 F. with a light breeze.  We hit the road (finally) around 5:00 am.  We intended to begin earlier but had to set out water stops along our route and that took up more time than we had planned.  Those water stops sure came in handy and we were very glad we had taken the time to set them out before we began our run.

The stars were bright!  We almost did not need our flashlights when we were out in the country.

BUT~the dogs.

There is a leash law in the county in which we were running.  People seem to think that the leash law pertains to everybody’s dog EXCEPT theirs.  We added close to a half hour walking time trying to shake off dogs chasing us this morning.  End rant.

We kept up a great cadence.  Same speed almost the entire route!  Consistency!

But, now.  Now that I have had a time to sit and take a load off of my feet, I am pooped.  Pretty soon, I have to go do “bedtime for birdies” (putting the chickens to bed).  The dog will need out and the cats will be ready to go out also.  They prowl all night outdoors.

So, that means, Up and at ’em!

Rest well, all!
