What a welcome relief after a Monday at work.

Darn ASICS gave me another blister!  Maybe if I swapped out the insole...

Ran with the ASICS again, but put in a pair of insoles from another pair of shoes--felt better.

It was a really nice run.  I felt good the whole time with the minor exception of the last mile when I was running with the wind and I got a bit warm.

I'm wishing they'd hurry up and finish with the road work that's got a portion of my normal route closed off--even to die-hard foot traffic.  But then again, I should know that if it's road construction it's going to be a long while before it's done.  Oh well.

I loved running today.

Mostly.

The first 3 miles sucked it up--I just didn't feel it.  But during the last mile before the turnaround (and my slowest mile of the day) things improved drastically.  The 4 miles back to the car were all sub 8!

On another note, I think I'm going to petition the county, or whoever is responsible for that trail, to ban idiots and long-boarders.  Mostly they are both the same, but today I had a guy walking two mini-dogs and he was letting them wander wherever the heck they wanted to go--which included right in front of me.  I mumbled some choice words under my breath as I hopped and skipped over his dogs and their leashes--idiot.  When I was heading back down he pretty much did the same thing as we passed again only this time we glared at each other.  And then there's the long boarders.  I can't count the number of times while I've been on a bike they've nearly caused me to crash because they don't understand where their lane is or why they should be there when being passed or passing--idiots!

I'll stop ranting now or I'll cross the civil and respectful line we've been asked not to.
