African Cool

It's a lot cooler out than it has been or normally is, quite conducive to my rather laid back approach to getting out early. I went out on a route I think I've only hit once before, and in the reverse of how I did it last time. Over the hill towards Ogletree, down Ogletree to Windway, and up through Grove Hill back to Wright's Mill.

Also, somehow I slipped over 1000 hits without realizing it. Yay.

And yet a little further

Second day with the new shoes. A little numbness in my right foot. Shoe too tight? Loosen laces? I hate to return things. Hate Hate Hate. I'll give it one more try. Up to College/Samford and back via Gay.

Two snakes

I saw two snakes on the road today. One alive, the other dead. Actually, on the way home the other appeared to be dead also. But where have I been? I was on a vacation with my wife last week in the Netherlands and Belgium. I packed my shoes but I did not run. So I've been off my feet for a while. My calf is feeling better at the moment.

Penance for Pigging Out

Last night I totally pigged out. I was well-mannered for most of the day but as it got into the evening I began snacking heavily, then had a large dinner and just kept going, mostly with things that are not on my diet. So I wanted to do penance today, only I didn't want to hurt myself any further.
