Tuesday's Tortoise


6 miles - The sun was shining (a MAJOR rarity this winter, been feeling like I was back in Boise with all of it's inversion"ness"!) so I did a late afternoon run around 4:30pm outside. Oh, glorious sun for the occasional winter outdoor runs.
But what is not so glorious? The windchill! My face was a little fried as half of the 2 mile loop had the wind blowing into you. Let me just say, once again I'm thinking, how in the world did I become this dedicated to running? I was still happy to be outside and did the 'ole 3 trips around the lake run. It was one of those days where there were a lot of people going the opposite way so I kept seeing the same people over and over again. You stop saying hi or waving about the 3rd time. Isn't it weird how it just gets to feeling awkward after that? I did have one woman that I played tortoise and the hare with. Of course I was the tortoise which is usually my role. hee. hee. slow but steady. She would pass, then use the restroom so I passed her and then walk so I passed her, etc., etc., and so the story goes. Moral of the story: the tortoise really starts to dislike the hare.
