AM - long run of 20 miles from the center of town out 4th street along Middle Grave Creek and back.  Very rural and occasionally a little sketchy - some dwellings with large hunting dogs who were un-pleased to see me.  Uneventful, though.  It should have been a pretty enjoyable run, but it was basically a climb most of the way out and instead of being rewarded with a gradual descent coming back, the wind shifted and was in my face most of the way.  No fluids, clearly dehydrated at the end.

Wimp! I would have sauntered up to one of the dog-littered dwellings and asked for a Gatorade... a Gatorwhat?! We aint got no gators around here. Ye can drag your tongue across Rufus' water bowl if ye like, but then you better move on afore Paw wakes up and grabs his gun.
