It was 57° at the start this morning. I decided to do this hillier route today instead of Thursday, since I'm supposed to do a tempo run that day(although I might not do that tempo run since I have a 5k on Saturday). My legs were heavy for the first half of the run. They loosened up eventually, but I never felt comfortable out there today. There were some animal sightings that startled me a bit, too. A deer almost ran out in front of me on Great Plain Rd at around 2.5 miles. And I almost kicked a bunny that scampered across the road right in front of me a couple of miles later(accidentally, of course). And I did smell a skunk, but I didn't see it(phew). Have a great day, everyone! Hopefully the Cubs can return the favor and sweep the White Sox at The Cell this week!


amazing run this morning!! 10 miles is a great way to start off your Tuesday!

Heavy legs and hills and you're still below 1.5 hrs on a 10 miler. I need to work up to your bad days :) LOL at the rabbit (but not at the deer *shudder*)

Nice hill work, Alfred! I too was startled by deer on my run this morning. I couldn't help but think, "what do I do if this thing charges at me"? I think he was on a date because there was a doe close by. I turned around and ran the other way in case he was gonna try to impress her. ;-)

Very nice 10-miler, Alfred! Your heavy legs hilly runs are better than most of our fresh legs downhill runs!

Nice 10 and extra points for not kicking Thumper, at the speed you were going he would have sustained life-threatening injuries :)

Thanks everyone! Lol, Rob. I guess you can call me Dr. Dolittle! Tom, you're right. I saw at least 5-6 on this run. Elizabeth, It's going to be in the mid 90s for the next couple of days(though probably still only in the 60s when I run in the morning). Hopefully the REALLY hot weather will pass before the 5k on Saturday.
