I was feeling pretty good near the end of my run this morning, so I decided to "sprint" and I ended up doing a new personal best for the mile -- Lance Armstrong told me so. 9'06" (down from 9'53"). Chariots of What? Yeah, that's right.

I usually run along the more westerly path to stick near the water fountains, but for the past couple of days I've been hugging the actual lake shore and this morning my 2.5 miles out got me to a little nature preserve dealie. I think I was on the outskirts of the Bill Jarvis Migratory Bird Sanctuary. It was a neat little break to run through the wild flowers and scrub. I saw some rabbits and the most crows (four) I've seen together in one place since the West Nile virus hit.
