Foggy Morning

The fog was so thick this morning that you could hear a car coming long before you could see its headlights peering through. We were all very aware of the extra danger of running where drivers might be over-driving their vision.

Nonetheless it was a satisfying run; somehow the fog added to nature’s beauty rather than taking away from it. The St Croix Valley runners meet for a 5-miler starting and ending at the Northland Tennis Courts on County Road 12 (Myrtle), a mile east of County Road 15 (Manning), at 7:00 am every Saturday regardless of weather. Depend on it. Nice group this morning, with Luke, Scott, Jim, Art, Mike, Al, New Dave, Don, Tom, Roy, Dave, Paul, Gauss, Wayne, Eagle Momma, and Sweet Pea. Who did I forget? Five miles in 40:35, pace 8:07.

Tomorrow same time same place for a hilly 8-miler. Anyone is welcome. After that I might (might?) do 12 more to get in the week’s long run, we’ll see how the weather is. I don’t run in lightning; that’s as dumb as golfing in lightning.

I have a table that tells me how to dress, according to the temperature, here. It works for me; it might for you.
