I Probably Should Make My Blog Public again

A relatively uneventful run.  The Rantoul smell is gone.  It was foggy.  My phone said it was in the 30s, but I was really overdressed.  I stopped at 2.5 to take off the shirt under my jacket.  A few times throughout I contemplated taking my jacket off.  I would have been warm enough...but I'm not much of shirtless runner.  Towards the end of my run, some fine middle aged to elderly gentlemen called out to commend me for my running.  They asked me how long I was running, and I told them 8 miles.  They then complimented me on my shapliness, so I gave them a thumbs up and kept running.  They yelled a little louder, and I'm guessing that they were either admiring my determination or they thought I flipped them the bird.  I was too far away to figure out which one.  My watch died in the last 2 miles, but my pace was just under 9 minute miles on the whole.  For some reason, I'm not able to paragraph this entry, even thought I'd really like to.

Wanted to do 2. Fit in 3.

Got new shoes. The top of my foot still feels bruised. Those 2 things aren't really related.

2 miles in the a.m. The rest of this week is busy.  I'm glad I managed something, even if it was only 2.

Thursday was a planned day of not running.  Friday wasn't.

I ran twice today, but the runs were not that far apart.  I had to come home halfway while Chuck dropped the boys off at practice because the baby was sleeping.  I ran 4 with a watch that turned off after 11 minutes.  I thought it just died.  My first mile was 8:41. 

I charged it a little, and then got out about 45 minutes later.  My watch turned off again a couple times, but I turned it on and it worked.  I'm sure it's on the brink of needing replacement.  It's pretty old.

My pace for the second 4 miles was about 8:40.  Because of the couple shut offs, I don't have real splits.
