Stage 10 was a pretty good day! The weather was really nice, for the most part. We we started at 8:15 am, the temperature was about 40 degrees and a slight wind was coming out of the northeast.
The first 6 mile went by pretty quickly, and there was this mean looking dog that tried to get us. Fortunately, the woman I was running with had a high-pitched whistle that evidently hurt the dog's ears, so the beast stayed away. The beast did, however, nip one of the runners in the butt! Newton Baker, who is 73 and is running across the entire US, was all alone in the back of all of us, and the dog ran at him and actually bit him! It did not puncture the skin, however.
This will be a reminder for all of us to have precautions when running! I will invest in a high-pitched whistle and some pepper spray as soon as I can, and strap it to my hydration pack!

My heart rate average was pretty low today, at 134 bpm...this is a combination of the downhill course, as well as descending from 6000 to 5000 feet! Air, I can breathe it in now! :)
The highlight of the day was running through the town of Lincoln, NM. All kinds of crazy action went down in this town back in the day. This was also the historical home of Billy the Kid. Pretty cool!
A neat little building in Lincoln, NM
