Grandpas with bells- I suppose so we can hear them coming slowly at us!!

Sunshine- beautiful streaking through the cloudcover but deadly for heat.  I just about died during the last 10 minutes.

The wall - how is it for you?  my "wall" is not exactly physical and not exactly mental.  And if I can push through it, the wall collapses and I have another log stretch of road to feel good before another one appears.  I think I feel it just below my sternum.  It's not a body tired, nor a cardio tired-- yet it must be a combination of the two along with a small mental nag about maybe walking or maybe cutting things short, or suddenly feeling like the run is long.  But it only lasts for a couple of minutes and then after that i feel good.   "Yes I can!"  and "Dont be lazy"  "go go go".  I think these cliche and silly things, but it gets me through.
