Oh dark 30


15 miles starting at 5:20 a.m. (10 minutes late;"lively" is difficult at that time of day).
Met the gang at 7:30 a.m.. It helped to have company, but my legs never did loosen up during the run. Nor did I get warm...at least not until after breakfast when I was able to sink into a warm bath, complete with bath bubbles. Thank you thank you thank you to whosoever invented bath tubs! Ahhhh...

Trivia of the day INVENTOR OF THE BATH TUB (according to wiki answers):
"John Michael Kohler invented the first enameled bathtub when he enameled a cast iron horse trough in 1883." This masterpiece was apparently advertised as "horse trough/hog scalder, when furnished with four legs will serve as a bathtub. "
And according to Wikipedia, the process for enameling cast iron bathtubs was invented by Scottish-born American David Dunbar Buick (founder of the Buick Motor Company).

In any case, this scalded hog is grateful for the luxurious invention!
