59 degrees - 9:30 PM Ramblings as I was running this evening..... I think I like night running better than morning runs. I don't have to get up at 5AM for starters. Because it is not summer yet the evenings are a more comfortable temp to run in. The frogs/toads are out singing as are some of the night birds. The traffic driving by is lighter and no one is rushing to work, drinking coffee, nearly missing introducing a runner to the front bumper. On the other hand, I've noticed there are a lot more dogs out in the evening than in the morning. I would imagine the dogs are curled up in bed with better sense than I than to be out a 5 AM in the freezing cold. Morning runs are also nice as the daily run is checked off the list before you start your morning. Scott Jureck (article in this months runners world) seems to be having difficulties with his running career and other parts of life. This is one person I really enjoy reading about. I'm sorry this article has such bad news to share. I guess even super athletes have the same problems as the rest of us regular mortals. Can I complete a 100 miler before I turn 40? For the sake of patriotism I'll spare you the really bad Ode to the American Flag I made up on tonights run. It was really awful. How can I finish up this task at work in a quicker period of time? I sooooo need to apologize to my kids this evening for acting possessed. Thank goodness for this run. I think I'd like to learn how to ride a motorcycle....or go skydiving. How about doing a rim to rim run at the grand canyon. As I finished up tonights run with 100+ more short odd topics that bounced around in my head. I wonder if this is creative free flow or just Adult ADD. I am just glad other folks talk to themselves when they run as well.
