Slow 4 Miler With Juggler on Stilts

I headed out this past Monday to get a run in. I had a lot of things going against me - it was 85 degrees out (at 8:30!), I hadn’t done a run since the past Saturday and I’d just returned the day before from a 4 day long bachelor party. I ended up only doing 4 miles in 33 minutes - a rather short distance, but still at an average of ~8:15/mile. I was not happy and realized I need to dedicate more time to training.

I typically run between the back side of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and Hoyt Lake. It’s a beautiful area with lots of trees leading to it from Lincoln Parkway and lots of people gathered there. I’d seen a juggling group that gathers outside the Rose Garden many times, but never knew who they were. This week, one of them was on stilts and was juggling on stilts with flames! Turns out this group is the Buffalo Jugglers.
