| | My sore throat is pretty much gone, but now my lungs are starting to gunk up. I hoped that if I tried to run faster today, it would help clear some of it out. Also, I am hoping that some speed work will do good for my race this weekend. I'm going to skip out on a spooky run tomorrow so that I'm fresh for Friday. I actually felt decent while running faster than I have in a long while.
It was quite cold for me this morning. My phone said it was 51º. I almost thought about going back inside and putting on a warmer outfit than the shorts and T-shirt I was wearing. But I did not think about it. :) I know that I warm up pretty quick once I start running, but I wondered if I actually would today. I did. I was looking for coyotes, but I didn't see any. When I was heading south down the RWCD road, I saw someone walking toward me. Then I was like, "Hey, I know her." It was my wife. We kissed. Then I got to Adobe and thought I saw a coyote, but it was a dog. When I got to University I saw a lady walking her dog. I was going to step off the sidewalk and run in the street, but she did it first. As I was running by her dog wanted to play with me so she kneed it in the face. Then I headed north on the Floodway path and saw a homeless guy sleeping in a sleeping bag. It's the same guy I see from time to time. Then I saw two more homeless people laying/sitting up against the wall. I'm pretty sure it was a guy and a lady, but the lady had her head covered with a coat. Then I saw Jeff in his usual spot. He had his head covered with his jacket and was sleeping. I hope.
