Size of a trampoline

 I went out today (Saturday) uninspired.  No running for 2 days and the left leg still battered. The decision was made to at least go out and make an attempt to move around.  A jog/walk strategy was employed as such, for every quarter it was jog .15 and walk .10.

 There was no harmony,  but the checkpoints were flying by at 13:50 miles.  Unhinged, I continued to soldier on past my 3.8 goal to 4.3, to 5.5, to 6.3, to 7.2, to 8.8, to 9.2, to a final 10.5 spot.  If your gonna be a bear, be a grizzly.

 To all the others out there that question the significance, just know this helps the cause.  Not a lot of people even consider doing 10 miles on a bike let alone on foot.  Speaking of bikes, there always seem to be 1-2 members of the fabulous four out there with their sprint to the finish mindset weaving in and out without a care in the world.   Lots in the 40's range.  Any bikers care to comment on the need for brilliant racing uniform type outfits?  Marshall on beautiful people.  We adore you ❤️. 

 The majority of the bikes are nice and courteous people.  They warn you, applaud you, and acknowledge you.  There are always a handful though.  You want to race the paved rec trail?  Get out on the road numb skulls. 

 Every year or so we would get into it with a couple of these folks.  My buddy said why are they so cocky?  Because you can't get your hands on them.  That's why.  Everyone's a hero when they blow by at 20-25 mph.
