I just felt like running

Did mile repeats on the small perimeter loop at work.  The paved portion of the loop is slightly less than 1 mile and the gravel/RR tracks is 0.25 miles which I used for rest between intervals.

3X1 mile  with  1/4 mile (3 min) active recovery.

6:30, 6:14, 6:24  (target was more like 6:25-6:30)

8:05 pace,  down finley island road , BP nature trail loop,  warm day (78F and sunny)

Ran easy on the trails at lunch (3.5 miles).  Another nice day - 80's and sunny. 

Afterwork, I met Bob at the point mallard trail.  Talked to Joe Beams for awhile. It was good to see him jogging again.   Last 2.5 miles were at 7:05 pace.

After getting tickets at the Princess Theater box office for a local play "Enchanted Sleeping Beauty", I ran portions of the Steeple Chase 8K course.  Easy pace 7:50.

Easy long run.  8:12/mile avg.

Light sprinkling rain.  Supposed to rain heavy later today.  66F.

Ran to Delano park, past old johnston St. house, took bike path to point mallard,  scouted out a few possible course changes for the spirit run, and then headed back.

Dog on the 2000 block of Woodmont came out after me again.  Growling, bearing teeth and chasing me down the street.  He doesn't come closer than 3-4 feet but he is persistent and mean.  I need to talk to the owners- they are never out though.   I'd prefer to talk to them first before calling animal control.    If he ever touches me, that is a whole different ball game.  He really has already crossed the line coming out into the street based on city ordinances.

the city just raised rates to get dogs out of impound.  Used to be something less than $10.  Now its 30-50 dollars plus you must get your dog spayed or neutered to take it home.  Good move by the city council in my opinion.
