6.5 miles, 1/4 mile with fox

Ran 6.5 miles this morning after setting out for 5. It was 84 degrees, sunny and 65% humidity. Drank about 1 liter of water and had 100 calories (cliff shot razz gel), also had 2 endurolytes (1 at miles 2 and 5).

Felt good for the conditions and ran faster, on average, than yesterday. A fox ran with me for about 1/4 of a mile across a soccer field. He (she?) just sat down at the end of the field and watched me run off. Glad it was a friendly fox.

Normally I have a banana a half hour to 15 minutes before running. We were out so I tried a packet of sportsbeans. They were fine but I think they were too sweet to eat while running.
