Thank goodness it was a nice cool morning because I turned my alarm off and didn't get out until almost 9:00. Went to the rail trail and enjoyed the wildlife. I saw a doe feeding her twin fawns, a turtle sunning himself, a hawk, and lots of grasshoppers again. Did six miles out then turned around to head back. At mile 10 I caught up to a girl heading in my direction. She was walking so I stopped and asked her how many miles she had to go and she said 2 ... I said "me too" :) I asked her if she wanted to do the last 2 miles together and she was game, so we introduced ourselves and hit the pavement. I was so happy to have someone get me through the last two miles because it is a slight upgrade the whole way. The 11th mile was my best time! When we got back to our cars we parted ways with the satisfaction of knowing we did it! |
