tin man needs wd-40
i "slept in" until 6AM today and headed out for a morning constitutional. admittedly, i was a bit sore from racing 8K the day before…even with a cool down run afterward. i brought along my ipod for some extra motivation and rolled myself down comanche to the glacial drumlin trail. i opted to turn east on the drumlin and headed towards town. my route then headed south on the fox river trail. after my GPS read 5 miles (in a pedestrian 43:45) i made a 180 and headed back home.
on the way back i noticed three cranes in a park field that borders some wetlands. they were making quite a racket in the early morning hours and seemed to enjoy having the park to themselves. as i made my way home, my stride began to get a bit more fluid and i was able to average a low 8 minute pace. overall, i mustered 10 miles in 1:24 and hit the shower.
