During the run I think I managed to see all of two cars go by me. Guess the other end of the street isn't as busy. Or maybe it's because I ran down a gravel road that's rarely used. Anyway, the peace and quiet was nice. I was tempted a few times to turn on my music but instead enjoyed the sounds of my heavy breathing and shuffling stride.
I tinkered with a Vine video, watched butterflies float around the road, and killed a horse fly that decided to bite me on my knee. Felt like a damn needle. Hope my smack felt like a damn brick. And the Vine didn't upload so it was lost in the ether. Oh well.
Aside from the horse fly, the run as pretty nice. I even managed to push it up nearly every hill. Not that they were large or anything but they were big enough to make me work.
Photos:
This is one side of the swamp I ran past. Very pretty.
And this is a tiny lizard I nearly stepped on. Oddly enough, he didn't scare me. He's hard to see but he's right in the middle of the picture.
Weather:
Temps were about 75F to 80F. Sun was out. Light breeze. No humidity.
Fluids and Fuel:
Breakfast was a burrito, donut, and iced latte (it was a cheat day). During the run I had a bottle of Hammer Fizz and most of a bottle of plain water. Recovery was Hammer Recoverite and a salad with salmon and edamame.
Aches and Pains:
None really. For the most part I felt like I was floating along.
Gear:
No special gear.
Experiment:
Took my .380 and ID. I keep forgetting that the lower pocket bounces too much for the gun. The upper pocket worked great.
Splits:
Outbound - 32:13
Inbound - 31:07
Finish - 1:03:20

Scared of lizards? ;) Looks like a beautiful place where you run.
