Sunday long run

A little warmer than yesterday but still foggy and drizzly. 10.03 mile run today in 1:43:38. Longest run yet for me but I think if absolutely necessary I could have gone a little further. Wasn't necessary though :-). Left later than normal so we were catching the Sunday morning church traffic, definitely have to watch out for the older drivers because they do not believe in sharing the road at all. We had 2 different drivers that were determined to run us down this morning (James kept me company on the bicycle). Tried something new this morning since it was going to be a long run by eating breakfast directly before running. Had a bowl of oatmeal and a boiled egg. No issues but did have to make one bathroom pitstop at Burger King, expected to have to do that though.

We were having to dodge raccoon poop this morning on 1 section of the bike trail. I didn't stop to check it out but James said it was from raccoons because it had persimmon seeds in it. Usually we have to watch the dog poop because there are several people that walk their dogs but don't carry any bags to clean up after they do their business. Haven't had that as much the past 3 weeks because it has been colder and the people aren't wanting to walk that far right now. Didn't meet anybody else this morning, we were in between times for church. The only company we had was a police officer on the section that runs beside ASU-Searcy. Somebody had been tearing up the hay pasture on a 4-wheeler so maybe they were patrolling because of that.

Feel ok right now except for my lower back and my right shoulder being a little stiff. Got to get ready for the work week now.
