Attack...of the pigeons!

After a 5 miler yesterday evening, it was tough going to climb out of bed and do 10 miles this morning...but I did. I was up and out at 0740 and the spandex was required this morning as it was so cold. I even had the gloves out today!!

About a mile out, I was day dreaming about getting back home to the warm house when all of sudden a couple of pigeons flew out of a tree, hitting leaves and branches on the way out and frightened the absolute s**te out of me!!! It certainly got my heart rate up, that's for sure!!

I managed to make the 5 mile mark without any further incident, turned around and headed back. The knees started getting sore around the 8 mile mark today but I managed to make it back in one piece to a nice warm house...and a freezing cold bath! Oh joy!!

Anyway, it's another 10 miles in the running bank. Next week it steps up another gear with a 4 miler, 5 miler, 5 miler and then an 11 miler next Sunday.
