After 2 tough work outs I planned to run 10 miles with some of the veteran Strider Runners. I was a little scared of the condition my legs would be in at a 10 mile/9.5 pace. I met Rebecca and Mel at 6am. The pace was easy and alot more relaxed than I expected. Rebecca turned around at 3 1/2 miles to walk back. She has a hip injury that she is trying to heal before her full marathan in 2 weeks. Mel and I continued on without any idea what we were about to experience @ mile 7....We could hear it way before we saw it. Whatever it was was tearing through the woods aggressively. We kept running, thank goodness because it ran across the trail about 25 meters behind us. What a close call that was!!! An UGLY wild boar. If I never see that again it will be too soon. We finished up at mile 10 and met back up with Rebecca to walk another mile for a cool down. The only ache I had was in my feet. I do need new shoes.
