I started my 18 mile run at 4:15 am this morning so I could make it to spin class.  I felt extremely tired at first but warmed up after 4 or so miles. My average pace was 7.05 and I ran from mile 5-6 at a 6.15 pace and mile 9-10 at a 6.17 pace.  I was stocked by a driver at 4:30 this morning, he actually pulled up behind me in the oncoming lane and was driving behind me.  I have no idea what he was doing or if he thought I was a Hot Chic! I had my beanie on so he might of thought I was a very nicely figured lady!  I had my headlamp on and turned around and when he saw my face and realized I was indeed a MAN he left me alone.  It gave me the idea to start putting the 7 oclock shadow on girls when they run alone!

Why is it that you always comment that you have a girlish figure? I have never noticed anything...

From Walter on Sat, Mar 22, 2008 at 12:24:45

I guess we have more perverts here in the valley. They have given me a complex!

From Cody on Sat, Mar 22, 2008 at 12:34:23

You must run like girl. 4:15?? Are you nuts? Now that is dedication.

From Lybi on Sat, Mar 22, 2008 at 12:34:31

HAHAHAHA--Walter you crack me up. I actually someone follow me like that a few weeks ago and it scared the bajeezers out of me! I'll have to try the five o'clock shadow thing.

Nice early morning long run!

From Walter on Sat, Mar 22, 2008 at 12:57:31

To Cody, ok go ahead heres your chance to make fun. I kind of left myself vunerable there.

To Lybi, its not the first time that that has happened to me. I need to bulk up or something. If I shaved my legs and arms I know i would be running faster from all the pervs out there. Is that why Clyde is so fast? Jk Clyde I know you can take me!

Walter,

I didn't know we had such a fast South Jordan runner. Good luck on the running & concrete construction company. Quality Footings sounds like a good name for a running store.

From Andrea on Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 13:55:01

Hey, Walt! Great work-out effort on Saturday. Maybe we'll see you this evening at the Oval.

Regarding the stalker, that's the very reason I don't run alone when it's dark! I bet most female runners can relate. Even when I'm running with my dog, the wierdos are pretty brazen. Be careful out there!

From Walter on Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 15:10:48

Thanks Terry, I may have to think about a running store if construction doesnt pick up here soon.

To Andrea, Yeah, I will be at the oval tonight even though the weather is freakin amazing! My girls like to skate while I run. I should be there about the same time as last week. 6 oclockish

Good thing you had your head lamp on. Who knows what he was after. Nice earlier morning long run.

From Walter on Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 16:07:59

I know it Jeff. I should have tried to memorize his liscence plate.

You would make one very ugly woman!
