Had a scare this morning.  I was running (it's dark and I have my headlamp) when all of a sudden two men were running full speed from up behind me.  I jumped to the other side of the road and faced them with my mace ready.  I was about to yell "I have mace!" when they kept on going by me.  Scared me to death!  I started running behind them (a good distance) and tried to figure out what they were doing.  Turns out they must have been late for a ride to work because they stopped about a block away where someone was waiting in a truck.  Got my adrenaline going!

A little sore from spinning and overslept. Managed to get in two miles between downpours.

My Garmin died around mile 10.  I'm guessing my AP was about 10:30.  Beautiful day for a run.  I ran on the Rail Trail (train tracks converted to a trail).  I saw two wild male turkeys with shining feathers and long beards.  I saw 4 different deer; 1 buck, 2 does, and 1 smaller doe.  The deer make me nervous because they don't run until you are right next to them.  They just stare at you like they are trying to figure out what you are.  I have even had times when I run past them (about 20 feet away from them) and they don't run at all.  Creeps me out.

Couldn't help but try to imagine running an additional 12 miles (that would make a full marathon).  Wasn't easy to imagine.  Only 3 weeks left.  Aaarrghhh!
