11 myles - 1.18:19

Lone Tree loop - 11:00 a.m.
70's, really windy, dry
mind/body - a little down today
easy effort

This run was all about being attacked by killer-flying grasshoppers! For some reason all the flying grasshoppers wanted to jump up on my face. I'll have you know that my Smith V-Ti's saved me from losing an eye.

Not such a good run today - My streak of feeling good came to an end. I struggled through 4 laps at Lone Tree, battling the swirling wind the whole time. Each loop got progressively slower (18:28, 18:33, 18:39, 18:50) with the same perceived effort. Rather than do 5 loops as I had set out to do, I settled for 4. Time to take a day off.

On another note, Myles went to his regular check up today. He weighs 16.2 pounds (75th percentile), his length was 90th percentile, and his head was average (50th percentile). He was smiling, talking, and just being the happy little baby he is. That is until he got poked 3 times! Screamin', screamin', screamin'.... made Nicole cry too.
