Tried taking Herby on a run with me.  He's the worst.

If I were to guess, I'd say this is the first time I've run over two miles in under a 10 minute pace this entire year.  Maybe even for a couple of years.

Yesterday I purposely ran fast and today I purposely ran slow.  Hoping for a nice run tomorrow.  For the last week I've seen a gaggle of men's socks strewn all over the path.  I think a frustrated housewife must've given up on finding their matches and decided to get rid of them.  Her husband must be a slob.

I went to bed early and had no problem getting up when the alarm went off.  There were a lot of bugs out this morning.  One flew in my mouth.  I started about a minute before Mike and was ahead of him for the first mile.  I thought about what I'd say to him when he caught up to me, but when he did it was just awkward silence.  There was a lot of runners and cyclists out this morning.  All of the cars seemed to be coming in groups.  I guess that makes sense because they all probably get stuck ath the stoplight together.  Anyway, I would tell the other runners I saw good job and they all seemed pretty friendly.  Runners.  Gotta love 'em.  So when I got to almost the top, my sweaty pocket stopped my Strava.  As I was running back down I could hear my phone making noises so I pulled it out and didn't think to look to see if my Strava was stopped.  About a half mile before the bottom I finally looked at it and realized it had turned off.  So I turned it back on and it only recorded 4 miles.  Boo!  But I think I fixed it.  I just would have liked to have been able to compare my times from last week.  I guess it's time to put a code on my phone.
