May 12th, Saturday

Did another late night run but this time at the Bay to avoid the bugs!  Started after 7:00 PM but manged to beat the sun and was lucky that the May gray stayed off the coast to keep the light around a little longer.  Did Fiesta Bay for 8.08 miles (it's now a little shorter with the new bridge by MBHS) 

Very quiet that late which is nice not having to dodge the crowds of people congregating on the path.  People need to treat it like a busy street, you can't just stop or cross it without looking both ways and you definitely should not walk 4 abreast and take up the whole thing!

One other thing that was cool was the R/C planes that fly just east of the Sea World parking lot.  I always like watching them during the day but never knew they also flew at night!  There were 3 planes all lit up, 2 in red, white, & green and a smaller one in red,  white, & blue.  Very cool to see.

It was really serene as the light was fading and I was running from the Fiesta Island entrance toward my starting spot at the runner's bathroom (Information Center).  A song came on that I just played in my class for my "wisdom" segment that was crazy appropriate called "Time Stand Still" by Rush.  It is a reminder to stop and smell the roses as time keeps marching on (faster & faster as my Dad always told me & boy do I believe him now!)  Here's a link to it with the lyrics as they are the important part.

A great week of running (over 49 miles!) and soon I will get my stats caught up on here.  I'm missing the last few weeks but they will be up on Sat posts soon.  Sorry if you are a stat nerd like me but time is not standing still by any stretch of the imagination so bear with me!

Total Miles:  765.13  Pace Runner:  731.14   +  33.99 miles!

Love to you both, Mom & Dad!  <3
