First run with new shoes, Saucony Trigon 5s.  A bit faster than typical for me on this course at a 7:15 minutes per mile average pace.  This might be due to new shoes, or it might be due to putting the spurs to it a bit more because of having new shoes.  During this run I listened to a podcast about global warming.  It discussed the need to establish carbon emission as a commodity that can be traded and valued so that steps that will reduce carbon emission can be finacially motivated.

Spring must be taking hold because I saw my first snake of the season on the trail today.  A speckled kingsnake.

Ran the Re-creation 5k with Eric Schotz, Todd Hogue, and Jon Elmore in Hunstsville.  Also ran 2 miles before the race to warm up and 1 mile after the race to cool down.  I finished 16th overall at 20:06.  4th in my age group.

Point Mallard run with Eric.  I didn't have my watch on for this run, but I think Eric said we averaged a 7:11 minute/mile pace.

Point Mallard run.  Listened to a podcast that discussed the extinction of the Great Auk.  This bird was once present by the millions on Newfoundland, particularly on Funk island, and was driven to extinction by the early 19th century.  Since they were flighless they were easy prey to capture and salt to replinish the larders of ships after 6 weeks of sailing crossing the Atlantic. These were the bird referred to at the time as penquin long before the birds in Antartica were called that due to the similar appearance.  A major point of the piece was that even species that are present in great abundance are susceptible to extinction, with parallels drawn to the Atlantic Cod.
