Another early morning run under my belt. 4 miles,
Mile 1 - 10:06
Mile 2 - 10:20
Mile 3 - 10:19
Mile 4 - 9:56
Mile 5 - 10:17
Total time 40:43
This mornings' run was a little different, the street critters of Lansing were out and hot. First there was the skunk couple who gave me the stink eye (pun intended!), even as I crossed the street to get out of their way. If that doesn't make you run faster, I don't know what will. Oh, well maybe almost getting attacked by a momma raccoon. Yes, it almost happened. I heard a little rattling near a tree and figured it was a squirrel or chipmunk, you know a normal outside animal. Then I see it's glowing eyes crawling up the tree, a baby raccoon. Baby wasn't so scary but then I looked down and saw momma ready to pounce and scratch my eyes out. I thought then and there being attacked by a raccoon would be my karma for all the making-fun-of-Chris I have done, for him having to get rabies shots as a kid (from a dog bite, it's still kind of funny though). My speedy legs got me out safe and sound though! I saw a ton of cute bunnies that were obviously annoyed I was interrupting their quiet time. Let's see, what else... Oh, the 100+ lb dog that was in his front yard on a little, teeny, tiny lead that came charging at me. Luckily, my dog whisper skills put him at ease and I again escaped rabies shots. WINNING!
Geez, what should I expect from the country running I will soon be faced with? Cows and horses? Hopefully they don't attack.
Disclaimer: Dimondale is technically a village, therefore in my book it qualifies as country.
I also tried out my new handheld water bottle.
It will definitely take some getting used to. My hands are so little that holding anything feels intrusive. I drank the entire bottle however so it I was happy I had it.
