What an interesting day. My training schedule called for a 9 miler today. Went to bed feeling great, woke up dragging but went out for my run anyway. After about 5-6 minutes, I was getting into my groove and thinking, "Alright, I'm glad I'm out here. I can do this!" Then a dog started following me. In the city, coming up to a very busy street. So I stopped, ran back to his house, told him to stay - nope. He followed me again, I sprinted at him and yelled "Go home! AGHAHAHAHAHAH!" That didn't work either. So then I walked him back to his house and he finally stayed. I started running again, but the kinks wouldn't work out from stopping, sprinting, walking, stopping, etc. I ran another two miles before putting the end to it. Went back out this afternoon and ran a nice 8 miler at 9:06 miles. Put some hills in on the back side. It felt good. Perfect roads, okay weather, although the wind was a bit chilly into the east. Looking forward to a day off from running tomorrow, singing at church, celebrating some birthdays, and just relaxing before hitting up the ChaLean Extreme workout tomorrow night.
Oh, and how about those Spartans! Some clutch play by the reigning Big Ten Player of the Year Kalin Lucas. MSU 65, Minnesota 64. 7-0 in the Big Ten!
