I was going to take a day off. Not sore or tight, which is a good sign. Thought it was probably time for a day off after 27 on (longest consecutive stretch by 5 days), but the sun was coming through the window, calling me. Too many clouds lately.

Golf course to Heritage trail out and back - 6.8 miles, averaged 7:55

Should have stayed in. Had some clowns harassing me, but I kept going, biting my tongue. As much as a stewed about it I had a pleasant run somehow. Wore a pair of A5s I picked up pretty cheap. What a sweetie pie of shoe! I think if I can drop some weight I may run my marathon in them. Lighter than my Newton flats (by a mere .2), but a bit more cushion and protection in the heel for when form starts to sag.

So the clowns found you on your run, too today.

Nice run today!

Yeah, Matt. Usually the general idiocy ensues, but this was rather aggressive. Be careful out there.

Luckily mine weren't too aggressive today. You be careful, too!
