Today was much better than yesterday. I ran the Phoenix East route to Talent, then Cover Rd to Phoenix and home via Home Depot. I felt great the whole way and enjoyed being outside in such great weather. Interesting morning: - Nearly stepped on a snake. It completely threw off my stride as I nearly jumped out of my shoes.
- I frequently pass a field full of cows just north of Home Depot. They're always scared and run away from me. Today a cow chased me (actually seemed to be defending his turf, but running towards me, not away). His buddies jumped in and chased as well. Before I reached the end of the pasture there were 20+ cows chasing me. That's never happened.
- Albertson's gas was $2.45 @ the start of my run (6am), then $2.49 @ the end of my run (8am).
- I tried Shot Bloks by Cliff Bar for the first time. Took 3 within the 18 miles (40 minutes, 75 minutes, 98 minutes). Taste (orange) was okay but they are awfully big. My stomach handled them okay though, so it's an option for future runs. I think I'll try Sport Beans next.
