5 mile easy run this morning. I was sheduled to do a 7 mile tempo run, but I had an early appt (6:50am) downtown and didn't think I could fit it in and still make my appt. So, I re-jiggered my schedule.

Tomorrow night I'm doing a scavenger hunt run sponsored by a local run store. They do this the first thursday of every month. Apparently they give you a map, and you run from place to place, collecting raffle tickets from businesses involved along the way. You have to make it back to the start by a certain time to deposit your raffle tickets for the drawing. You can run in any direction, and go to whatever map locations you want, so the faster (and more strategically) you run, the more tickets you can collect. The farther the location, the more tickets you can collect from that spot. Seems like it will be a fun way to "shake up" my run routine. Oh, and there's beer when you're done, so I guess that's good motivation too.
