Afternoon - 

It was about 94f out on this run.  Ran 5 times around the block.  Wanted to stay close to the house with the heat.  Left an ice cold water bottle at my mailbox and took a swig each time around.

Evening - 

So get this.  I was near the end of my run tonight, after 9pm and definitley dark.  And a voice calls out, it was a lady sitting on her front porch.  She says, "I like your new shoes."  I yell back, "Thanks, I must run by here a lot for you to notice that."  Then she says, "Oh no, they just don't smell bad anymore !"  Now come on, could she be serious or was she just joking around.  Could she really have been smelling my old running shoes?  But then again just a few blog entries ago I mentioned how that pair had become the rottenest, stinkiest, most foul smelling shoes I had ever had.

Tonight I wanted something faster than normal.  I warmed up a mile.  Then decided on 4 miles at 7:00 pace.  In the dark my sense of pace can get a little off.  So I depended on the Garmin right much.  The 1st 2 miles looked at the watch under every street light I passed by.  Was basically right on pace.  Next 2 miles I knew I was moving a little faster than the other 2.  So I did not look at it much more.  The 4 miles felt good, and had to work to maintain the last mile.  I could have held it another mile...maybe even 2.  Cooled down another mile.
