Day 56

August 8, 2009
4 miles - 40 min

It was really windy today. Very windy! I'm not possitive that I actually ran 4 miles. I probably was a little less since I changed my route a little.

When I first got outside it was a little dark and looked like it might rain. That didn't bother me. It's been a few days since I have been out and really needed to run. (Family problems have put a fire under my butt.) I didn't even see any birds until about the 1 mile mark. Then they were everywhere. The were flying in packs. Not very much chirpping though. I felt that was a good sign. Anyway, I don't know if I will ever get over that bird attack. It really freaked me out!

I saw a group of 3 runners. I changed my route so I wouldn't have to run by them. There is a competitiveness in me that can tire me out. Today I didn't feel like catching up to them and trying to stay ahead. At every turn I was closer and just didn't want to deal with it.

Today I saw more blown down or broken trees and tons of trash. Birds! (86)
