Meagan and I started the run together in the direction of Freedom Park. The big storm last night damn near flooded the streets that we usually run on. We could see reeds and dirt from the creek washed up on the bike path. We opted not to run across the bridge just after the mile mark and opted for a safer passage to the park. It looked like a car was being towed that had sat in a huge puddle of water over night. Scary stuff.

We parted ways once we hit the park as I was meeting up with Nick Frank. We ran through the park and hit up the Booty Loop. Meagan ran about 40 meters in front of us and we slowly closed the gap. She heard us rolling up on her and picked up the pace for a nice little jogger war. It really wasn't much of a war because she was ultimately conquered along Selwyn just befor Queens University of Charlotte. I'll admit that she put up a fight and didn't let us run away, but when we came back close to the park she ran home. Nick and I did two loop before calling it a day.

The run was supposed to be "steady" today, but considering yesterday's impromptu workout I was happy that I wasn't too tired or sore. The pace was solid but not crazy fast.
