      I saw a dog do that on a bike ride I was on once. He ran with us for a good km at a full on sprint, but not like he was racing us..just like he was out for some exercise, and loving every minute of it!

      Oh ... that's sad... I never thought of that. You're right, Alexandra, it makes sense. I'll look for him when I am in that area again. But it could have gone a long way by now.

      BTW I find it hard to include people like that in my concept of "humanity"... though on thinking about it some more I'm afraid that I've met plenty of people like that.

    good summary 16.2 km

    Just recording distance! I read everyone's posts last night -- great job, all! -- but no time to comment. Terribly busy. Also did my planks and dug the garden. Tired and sore, lots more to do.

    An easy run to pick up the car, with an extra loop to take it up to 5k. Minor twinges but overall a great run on a nice refreshingly cool and sunny morning.

      Thanks, Sam, Julia, Menno, I have been thinking how to put this and decided to say that there are some serious problems of long standing that I should have dealt with years ago, which I finally have the chance to put right, starting tonight, so I can't afford to be distracted from it until it's done. Will miss you guys but just have to take care of this.

      Frankly it bores me. But I guess a stadium full of testosterone and high emotions is similar to a bull ring except not so romantic. There is some argument that sealing the exits and leaving them inside to settle matters in last man standing manner may solve the issue. Who can say but I would be prepared to try;)

      Agreed about the smoke... people drive along smoking in the morning or stand at the sidewalk puffing away so you have to sort of bob and weave to try to get out of their cloud. Thanks for asking about the head, it's about 90 percent good now. Getting there.

      Ever since they passed the indoor smoking ban here, sidewalk smoke is really bad. Now there are hundreds milling round doorways & sidewalks puffing away. Oh well... I suppose outside is better than inside.

      I always feel terribly self conscious when I pass someone more than once...kind of like I am under scrutiny! Glad you survived the experience:)

      Julia, that's funny, because you do feel as though you're under some special scrutiny, though it doesn't make much sense! I basically pretended I wasn't aware of them at all, mainly so THEY would feel at ease I hoped, on encountering a man twice along their route. (I had tried to run fast enough not to see them again but I covered my 2.5km while they covered their 1.25km only to encounter them again at the point where I was turning off.)
