Seeking a better country...

Alone in the moonless dark stopping to drink at the park the bugs couldn't penetrate my force field.  Stop leaning on that net, you soccer playing weirdos.

I wanted some downhill miles on the legs, so I went to the top of stone ridge to start up a client sprinkler system, then ran all the way home.  Most of the miles were flat, but 4 were downhill, but too steep.

After a tennis team dinner, Jack and I struck out in the stroller for skater park.  He wanted to practice his kickflip-indy-nosebone-tail-grab-540.

But it got dark.

And I didn't bring his skateboard.

And he's two.

So he sat in the stroller, cuddled up in the blanket his grandma made for him, and commented on the cars, lights, parks, buses, and stars.  

Sometimes running feels so good.  Sometimes it's frosting on a sweet cake of a day.  Sometimes it's the air freshener spritz on a day that's a complete turd.  

I'm glad I got a breath of sweet scented air today.

Just a short run before work.  I was only 15 minutes late.

Somehow, I need to get on track with sleep.  I'm only 6-7 hr guy right now, and it's taking a toll.  I nearly doze off every day driving to and from work, and I'm sure it's hampering my running.  Gotta be to work at 7...can't get to bed before 11 most nights.

Long run with Gaby.  He fell asleep after a while, and didn't seem to mind the rain very much.  (to Farmington pond and back, via Lagoon trails)
