I didn't feel well on Saturday.  I guess it was my turn.  However, Mike never texted me to see if I wanted to go running anyway.  I was feeling better this morning so I decided to do a longer than normal weekday run.  I ran north up the canal until I got to McDowell Road.  Then I turned around and came back.  There were a lot of runners out.  I saw one guy enter the trail with a dog running behind him.  I was pretty sure it was the guy's dog, but he never looked back to make sure it was following him.  I said good morning and he said good morning back.  Then I said, "Your dog?"  He didn't answer.  I saw another couple on the other side of the canal and they said good morning to me.  I've been using Strava a lot more lately since I'm not as embarrassed for people to see my pace.  Strava has a cool little feature called "Flybys" which allows you to see other Strava users' workouts if they come within close proximity to yours during your workout.  It turns out that the gentleman was using Strava.  When I turned around at McDowell I saw them coming back and said, "Great job guys."  I thought they were running faster than me, but I looked at their pace on Strava and I was running faster.  They also had a dog, so maybe that slowed them down.  Then I saw the other guy with his dog.  They had moved to the other side of the canal.  He was definetly running faster than I was, but he wasn't using Strava.  Anyway, the run felt pretty good up until the last mile when I could tell the blister that had formed on the bottom of my left foot a few weeks ago was starting to get aggravated.  I'll have to try and doctor it up tonight.
