Woke up late and decided to head out to the gym.  Walked outside and could see a hint of sunlight so decided to run in the hood.  Great morning run. Warm and foggy :) Nice to be outside without bundling up.

While waiting for the rain to clear, I took an early morning nap.  Hard to wake up again and get out on the road.  I called a couple of friends to see if they wanted to join me.  One friend was in Texas and the other in Virginia.  Destined to push out on my own.  I had a great run with me, myself, and I :)

Maced my first dog today!  I was running in the hood when this little guy came out of nowhere going straight for my ankles.  I yelled "I have mace" (like he knew what I was saying).  I sprayed at him but it landed in front of him.  He disappeared as quickly as he arrived.  I ran on then had to stop because my heart was racing faster than my run.

Made a new route today.  Was fun and interesting to run a new place.  No dogs to mace today just a huge wild turkey.  Didn't mace him because he ran away but he sure was intimidating.  AP: 10:23

Went on the rail trail with my hubby.  He put on his ruck sack and combat boots and hiked while I ran ahead and back.  I ran the first three miles then did sprints after that.  I would sprint for 1 to 2 minutes then recover.  Made for some fast miles since I stopped my watch during the recovery times.

hubby went with me again on the rail trail.  He rode the bike this time.  At one point he was riding in front of me and some other bikers passed me then said to him, "that joggers (hate that term) catching up to you, better speed it up".  He replied with, "I'm her water boy."  Another time when Hubby was behind me, a biker said, "I see...you ride back here for the view."  I guess I should feel okay with that comment since I guess that means my "junk" is still worth looking at after 29 years of marriage.  On the other hand it *issed me off because I felt belittled.

Getting nervous about my 1/2 with my nephew.  Worried I will slow him down since he is many years younger than me.  I need to talk with him to see if he is going for a PR this run.  

Saw a butterfly with zebra wings today...reminded me of someone I know:)
