it was another humid one this morning. 88% relative humidity
is pretty ugly even if it's only 50 degrees out. the air feels so heavy. other
than that it was beautiful out. the sky was mostly clear and the air calm with
just a breath of a breeze to stir things up.
i wasn't sure what i was going to do when i set out just
before 5:30. i only knew that i wanted to take it easy after yesterday's hard
run. i started out thinking i'd do the loop out by the college, but a block
into that route, i turned south and decided to take in the hill out on country
club and lake roads. i hadn't done that in awhile and i had plenty of time to
do it.
i ran pretty well most of the time. there was a couple of
minutes when it seemed my gut was trying to cramp, but it never succeeded in
producing any real pain so i kept going. i spotted deer in the ditch on lake
road and also heard the spooky yelping of a band of coyotes. kind of creepy!
back in town, i ran out to the west edge of the city limits
and then worked my way back home. i encountered few cars. it was really nice to
just hear the light whisk of my feet and nothing much else. at main street i
saw another runner. she was headed south toward lemon park. i yelled good
morning to her, but she didn't turn. my guess is the music in her ears drowned
out my greeting.
i ran on until i had to turn north to wind my way back to
the house. i ended my run at exactly 6.2 miles in just under an hour. a perfect
recovery run if you ask me.
