Today was supposed to be a rest day, so I planned on sleeping in a bit (all the way to 6am!). But my dog and cats don't understand the concept of "sleeping in"... It was so nice out when I let the dog out that I decided to run anyway. It was just a gentle 3 miles through the neighborhood, as the various backyard chicken flocks were waking up (they sleep later than my cats!).

Tomorrow's schedule has me doing my first 10 miler in a couple months; and isn't there something exciting about those round numbers?
