Pigs can swim

Kathy gave me an early birthday present.  It is the cutest thing I have ever seen.  It is a flying pig garden statue.  I put in near my pond.  I have had many critters visit my pond including raccoons, opossum, mink, squirrels, turkeys and deer.  This morning my little flying pig had been knocked into the pond.  I am guessing it was a raccoon.  I learned that the pig can swim.   He was doing the backstroke.

Today was workout #13.  This was the last workout on the schedule.  It was 2 mile warm up, then 2 miles at tempo, followed by a two mile cool down.  Tempo is faster than easy but slower than fast.  I am not good at hitting paces.  I felt good with the run.  It was a great day to run.  It was 72 degrees at 5:00 when I ran.  Running in the cool weather is so much easier than running in the heat.  Race day forecast: low 53, high 77

Today I wore my brand new pair of Glycerin 14.  These will be my race day shoes.  They felt great once I got the laces tightened just right.  I never feel I really need to break in my Brooks running shoes.  They feel great out of the box.  That being said I will wear them several times before the race to make sure they feel good.
