I need to go for a run.  In the meantime, this looks kind of fun...

 p.m.  I made it out.  I got paid to run tonight because I delivered a bunch of my bills.  $4.  Take that, postal service.  It was a perfect night; cool, no wind, Venus and the moon.

It's a very busy week.   Easy 10k with Jens on his bike.  We talked a lot.

10k, 43 minutes, then cooldown to 7.  The first mile was slow, but the middle 5 were 6:20-6:50 pace.  I used the treadmill and board for downhill simulation.  UVM coming up...

I don't remember what shoes I wore.  This was a nighttime run after I fell asleep on the floor in my daughter's room.  Jens came with.  We ran down Pages, where a police action was underway.  They were blocking off intersections and trying to get a guy to come out of his house.  I ran past, then stopped to watch, and a bunch of cops that were hiding yelled at us to get out of there.  I don't know if they got anybody, but they had a cruiser on the lawn, lights flashing and yelling over the loudspeaker from Kevin somebody to come out.  It was pretty intense.  After that, it was a quiet run to Legacy, then north until it turns east, then over both overpasses home.  I worked in a couple of pickups just to show off for Jens.

After spending the morning with family and the afternoon repairing a sprinkler system, I left around 7:30 to finish off the week's miles.  I ran a sub 10 minute mile to BST (400' of climb) , then 4 miles north to Farmington.  The view of the valley with new-leafed trees and the setting sun was GORGEOUS.  My timing was perfect in that I ran out of light at the same time as I ran out of trail.  I ran home in the mostly dark along Main Street, sometimes enjoying the middle stripe in the road when no cars were coming.  I brought along a belt with chomps, smarties a cell phone and powerbar.  I didn't use any of them.  With a couple miles to go, I was still feeling pretty good, so I picked up the pace.  I just checked the pace.  7:28 and 7:09.  Huh.  It felt like I was going faster.  Now I wish I hadn't checked.
