010909 - Brick

Got up early this morning for a brick and felt tired and worn out!  My legs were so sore from lifting that it was hard to walk down the stairs!  Despite this, I jumped on the bike for a 30 minute ride and then out for a 45 minute run.  I was surprised that my legs did loosen up and I worked through the pain within about 15 minutes of the workout.  While biking, I kept my HR in the high 140s and then I hit the road for a 10K pace run.  I successfully kept my HR up in the 165 range on the run and covered 5.6 miles in 45 minutes.  

I think the most interesting part of this run had to be the very end.  As I turned the corner of my street and stopped to stretch, I looked down on the ground and spotted a GUN!  I wasn't sure if it was a toy gun or something real, so I picked it up and brought it home and reported it to the police.  They came to pick it up this evening and it turns out to be an air (pellet) gun, but none the less, they were happy to get it off the street.  I guess there are some kids around using these things to scare people when they try to rob them.  Glad I found the gun and not the person using it!
