Doing my best to avoid upsetting the Golf Ranger

I live right off a golf course. The third green is practically in my front yard. We have been in our condo for about four years now. I have actually gotten up and played golf on this course twice. I have been telling myself that I really need to take more advantage of this nice little feature of the community.

So yesterday morning I decided to tempt fate and risk the wrath of the course ranger by taking my morning run onto the golf course. I know that at 6 in the morning I am not likely to get brained by a golf ball. I charted out a nice little 1.3 mile loop with a series of rolling hills and flats. Any golfers out there who may be pissed or scandalized by reading this please rest assured that I stayed clear of the fairways and the greens. It took me 17:30 to finish the loop, but that is with stopping every so often to fish a golf ball out of the rough.

Was it my best work out ever? Not by a long shot. Was it a welcome distraction from the same old loop that is now haunting my nightmares? Yes it was.

Status:

7.38 miles into my goal of running 50 miles in thirty days. I am going to need to run a half marathon before 8/17 if I hope to make it.
