We just got back from the Old Capitol Art Fair with the top down on the jeep. The weather was ideal, mid 80s, and not a cloud in the sky. The whole family wanted to get outside for some exercise. We devised a plan…. My wife Julie was going to run along side my daughter riding her bike up to the Ice Deli. (shaved ice) I would then meet them up there and trade them the jeep and I would start my run.
This worked out rather well. I left the Ice Deli parking lot and headed east for a small loop, and then made a long staight away headed back west. I didn’t really decide ahead of time how far I was planning on running. I just ran.
I ended up out west and headed back down Old Salem Lane. I was immediately attacked by GNATS. I had a mile left to go, and picked up my pace to a 7:00 minute mile. I was using my shirt like a horse uses his tail, swatting the gnats from my face.
I made it home with 10 miles under my belt feeling rather energized.
