Time: slowww
I think I'm going to give myself a two day rest after long runs as I seem to fare much better when I do that. Today was pretty easy and slow. I saw three shooting stars this morning. Seeing those things blaze across the sky helps to make the miles scoot by. It's kinda like looking for a four leaf clover in a field. I keep looking and looking, and then, zing, one flies by.
I had an encounter with 5 Javelinas (wild pigs - see picture) at the fountain park this morning. Let's set the stage, it's very dark and they are wild creatures. As I neared them, the head pig got a little edgy and started to dart in different directions, and then the remaining 4 pigs started to run in different directions, and then I started to run in different directions as if I had a turantula in my pants. Yep, I'm brave. After dancing with the pigs for what seemed to be an eternity, I successfuly emerged on the other side. I'd like this to be the end of the story, but it's not. Next I heard a woman's voice call out from the dark, "are they gone?" About 30 yards in front of me was a woman out for her morning jog. So I mustered my best superhero voice and proclaimed the area to be safe. My only hope is that she has bad vision and that she is now telling her friends about the brave jogger who took on 5 coyotes on his pre-dawn run, but we all know that I'm not that lucky.
Now get back to work...
