Haven't blogged the runs for a while. I was going to run ten this morning, but on my way up Joplin I was going up the hill and a truck was making one of those wide turns that hogs up the whole road. I moved over to the shoulder and whacked my foot on a traffic pylon and started bleeding. So I ran straight home. Because I'm a wus.

Travel day yesterday and was sleepy this morning, so I ran tonight. I went down the Bicentenial trail. I forgot my ipod, so I ran with my thoughts -- and the thunder. It got a little scary when the lightning got close, but It was nice.

I decided to run harder this time. I pushed it pretty well on a hilly course.

Ran in town today. Left later than I'd hoped and had to cut it short.

Turned my ankle in the first quarter mile. Turned back towards the hotel, but then decided to run anyway. Ended up going 8 miles.

Back on the Bicentennial Trail. Slower because the ankle was bugging me a bit.

Remember that scene in the movie Glory where they are on a boat down to Mississippi and Denzel says "I forgot how hot it is down here." Well, that's how I felt tonight.

I ran through the Guilford Courthouse Battlefield. It is a Revolutionary War battlefield. Very pretty, but the weather was so hot, even in the shade, so I didn't run too far.

75 degrees at 7am. Felt like a rice cooker. I'm ready to go home.

I left Greensboro and stopped by the Old Man's place to visit with him for a few minutes. Then I drove down to Charlotte and stopped by UNC-Charlotte to a pathway I saw on Google. It was nice, mostly tree-covered and small rolling hills. The heat wasn't near as bad as it was the other night.

Ran 7 with Randy and felt fine, but then as I went for 3 more, I started feeling really sluggish. So I phoned it in after 9. I think I was hungry.

Had things to do today, so I didn't go long. Then I felt guilt.
