Usually I just enter in whatever mileage Strava says I ran.  But Strava went crazy on me today and said I ran 2.92 miles at a 6:10 pace.  Haha!  Not even close.  That's more than double my pace.  Speedwise.  Anyway, it was just before 5am that I started.  It was kinda light out because the sun would be coming up soon.  Today's high is supposed to be 107º, and I could feel it.  I was actually feeling pretty good this morning, but then when the heat made me a little uncomfortable, I decided to just do one loop today.  That turned out to be a good idea because once I turned on to Adobe, my knee started to hurt.  I actually walked the last tenth of a mile home.

I saw a few people out there this morning.  As I was approaching Brown I saw a light from a cyclist.  That drew my attention to a dog walker on the other side of the Floodway.  He was ahead of me and we crossed paths shortly after I exited the gate.  When I went to enter the other gate on the other side of the Floodway, I looked back and saw that he wasn't walking down the street, and therefore must have gotten on the Floodway path.  However, I couldn't see him.  I ran along and figured I must've passed him by now, but I just couldn't spot him in the dark.  Then I thought, "What if he started running?  Then he's probably ahead of me."  Sure enough I saw him running on the other side.  I soon stopped after that to take a picture of the owl sitting on top of someone's house.  I used night vision and zoomed all the way in.  The picture didn't turn out great.  After that I didn't see the man or dog anymore.

Yesterday I had to go do a site visit.  I entered the address in my GPS and it located it fine, but when I activated it, it couldn't connect.  Luckily I just needed to know the main streets and I found it easily.  I figured with my last run and with this, that the GPS must be broken.  My wife suggested I restart my phone.  She's a genius.

It was back to working again this morning.  There was a pretty lady playing with her dog at the park at the intersection.  She was still there after I did my loop.  There was another lady running down the street when I went by and I waved at her.  I think the first lady got jealous.
