10.5 Mile Run: Brownell - Shades Creek Greenway

I got started later than usual, about 7:15 am instead of 6:30. And, I ran alone. All my running mates were busy doing something else. I left the house with Gu, whaaaaa. I normally do a Gu 1/2 way through this run. But, it didn't seem to affect me much. I started the run listening to the Adam Curry's latest Daily Source Code. He played some cranking tunes in addition to the conversational content. He normally plays some music, but sometimes his choices are a little on the mellow side. Good music, but just not my preference while running. Then, the MP3 player rolled into some April Wine followed by Avril Lavigne. I loved the classic rock start and the upbeat, modern interlude of Avril, with a finish with a few numbers by the Cranberries. A good run. The weather went from cloudy with a list rain to clear skies and back to clouds. And, the wind was a cranking. I sat down next to a fella at the end of the run that gave me loads of unrequested advice because I dared say "Why not" when he told one no beer today. His advice went to stretching, napping, hydrating and avoidance of beer. He meant well, but I am telling you no where did he permit a word in edge wise. The only chin wagging was his. Conversation is best between 2 people especially in such a social setting. Data: Distance: 10.5 Miles Time: 1:40:38 Heart Rate: 161 Pace: 9:35 Weather: Cloudy and clear, 61° Route
