Got up a bit earlier than normal and got in 6 miles, which has rarely happened lately. Good run, nothing too crazy to report. Temps 48F with a breeze, glad I wore my cotton gloves.

Just over 5 trail miles with my new trail running buddy and his dog Cash, a speedy yellow lab. Out of 3500 miles or so I've run less than 100 of those with someone else. It's amazing how time flies! It took over 50 minutes and it felt like 15. Granted, it took me 35 minutes to drive to his house in order to make it feel like 15 minutes. 35 + 15 = weird....

Didn't feel refreshed this morning so I laid back in bed after the alarm, then woke up to a text alert that my bank account needed an infusion of funds. Joy. Transferred money then went for a short run. On the way out to the main road an ambulance came towards me heading the opposite direction. After another 1/2 mile the fire chief followed the ambulance so I turned around and followed them to make sure it wasn't my friends who live down that road. It wasn't, so I turned around and ran back home on a shortened morning. Life is good.

Woke up feeling refreshed (oddly, as I only got 6 hours sleep) and headed outside. 42F with only a very slight breeze so very comfortable temps. Listened to holy writ as I ran. I hear about every fourth idea when I do that but it's a nice way to squeeze some goodness into my life. It is so nice running in the dark with a full-ish moon and cloudless skies. I was able to turn off my headlamp most of the way.

I left my truck at a soccer game Friday afternoon so I ran down to pick it up Saturday morning. Nice run, great weather, all downhill. I like those types of runs, although it was a bit short for a Saturday.
