Lots o’ crap buzzing around my head – things to do, things to check off my list, things to bite heads from…oh, wait, I probably should have skipped that last one. 
Just feeling grouchy today, for reasons that are almost certainly hormonal and will pass.
One thing in particular that’s been rubbing at me is a growing edginess about the increased population on the streets when I run in the mornings. It’s the warmer weather, of course, but it makes me wish that, like a lot of the runners I know, I had a reasonably large furry friend to accompany me in the morning. Yes, yes, I’m allergic. I’ve also never been a dog person, really. Still, it strikes me as somewhat more protection than, say, a whistle around my neck. Hmph. “Stay back, scary shadow – I’ve got a thing that can make a high noise!”
Maybe I’ll learn jujutsu.
I’m doing this race as my first 50K/ultra in July 2012. I’m so tardy to the party but...
well you already know how I feel about your running in the dark early mornings. alone.
I do wish you’d have a running buddy.
or take a loud air horn with you.
jujutsu is also a good idea tho
Hannah – stay tuned.
