Shouted At!

This morning, I went out for my run. I'd gone very short - probably 2 miles on Tuesday, then nothing yesterday. Today I did the "45 minute" loop. The legs still feel beat, but very little soreness. As I got into the run, I had to decide how long to run. Should I do the "35 minute" loop or the 45? Then I asked myself, what would the big dogs do (the guys whose blogs I read who i put in that category are Duncan Larkin and Mike Salkowski)? The answer was obvious, do the 45, so I did.

As I was nearing the end of my run, I heard a voice. It wasn't the "nice ass" guy. This guy was coaching! "Your hands are flopping all over. Hold 'em steady!" I shouted back, "Who are you?" (He looked a lot like a coach I know.) "Just a runner," was his reply. He moved ahead as the light changed, but got caught by the next red. I ran across and introduced myself, he did the same, we shook hands. From his comments, it was clear he knew a bit about running. It was a nice little exchange. It made me think a bit about the "community post".
