Very eventful morning. Planned on 8 and should'v gone with my gut and run on the trail, but when I got down 9800 to the trail area, there were so many bugs and I didn't want to battle that so I headed out 9800. Got about 50 yards away from 1300 W. and saw a nasty car accident. Nobody else was around soooo, since I saw it happen, I was a good citizen and hung around to give my side of the story to the po-po. Holy cow, it was probably 20 minutes before he got there! Anywho, gave him my side of the story, my phone # and I was on my way. At that point I figured I only had time for 6 total so I kept heading west, got stuck at the light on Redwood forever. When I finally got the signal to cross, some old man in a handicapped mini-van almost ran me over! I made a scene and jumped around like a crazy woman in the middle of the road:) Turned around at 2200 W. and back down the hill. That is when my lower leg starts to get buggy...on downhill:( I love down so this sucks!!! Such is life though, right? I tried to keep it slower all in all...AP 8:51. It makes me sad not running a little faster, but I figure I'm being smart...or something like that. |
