I went running with Mark after work today and let me tell you, not the brightest move. It’s still really hot and humid, and we didn’t have the advantage of a 7am start time today. There were predictions of a storm coming in so I suggested that we just run four miles, and when we got back to home base we could add on a fifth if we still felt like it. Oh, thank god we did it that way. Our times steadily slid downhill (10:00, 10:24, 10:52, 10:50) and at the end of the last mile we were fairly beat. Mark commented, “Sometimes you beat the trail, and sometimes the trail beats you” and today was definitely the latter.

Oh, and about ten minutes later, the storm did arrive so thank goodness we didn’t bother with that fifth mile.
