Two things. First, my legs felt great this morning. It seemed as if I walked slowly, but I finished the Sweetheart Loop in 45:20. Maybe I'll be able to keep up a little better if I run with the Humpin' Hash this evening. Secondly, I had a rare cat experience today. I might get one of these every couple of years or so; a cat in the wreck of a neighborhood on the other side of 47th Street, a half a mile from here, toward the end of my walk, ran from the street up a driveway toward his house when he saw me approach. He turned and hunched down, thirty feet from the street. Just as I reached the base of the driveway, he meowed. I stopped and made the clicking sound that I make with my tongue to attract pets. The cat stepped forward a foot or so, then hesitated. I sat on my heels, repeated the sound, and, as I expected, he jogged to me, and purred as I petted him and picked him up. He was an orange tiger cat, short hair, maybe a pound or two heavier than Jo. I hope to see him again.
Man, I felt good running with the Humpin' Hash this evening. According to a Misty's iPhone®, we covered a total of 4.34 miles, from the Town Pump to Cajun's Wharf, then back to the Town Pump. I jogged nearly non-stop for 48:34.
