Since my garmin was still dead and I made no effort to find my charger on Friday, I had to go sans watch again. I had to estimate just a bit and did another out and back.  I hit the lap button at my guesses at a mile so that I could compare how I was running on the way out and the way back, and I was pretty even, except the wind was a factor.  I was 20 seconds slower on the way back in. 

I mapped my run and it was slightly over 5 miles.  gmap says it was 5.17, but I'll underestimate in case it was wrong.  So I averaged anywhere from 8:36 pace to 8:45 pace, which I'm okay with.  It didn't feel too bad, though I was wondering in the end if I really had the stamina to run faster than that for more miles.  

I did find my charger at school, so I'll be depending on that this coming week :)

I saw the dog that chased me last week on a chain by the house I thought was his.  He barked at me again, but I told him to suck it when he gave chase and didn't get anywhere. 

I also was told to "Work it, girl" by a 6 year old. 

Then I was ogled by a couple old men.  One was saying something to me as I was running past.  I'm pretty sure it was lewd, but I couldn't really hear.  So I just smiled to give the old men pleasure.  I know I'm sexy while I'm running.
