Chaire Herodikos Selymbriaios!

Went to a barbecue yesterday and ate a ton so was eager to run it off. Today we set out later in Leo's nap cycle than usual, which proved to be a great thing - he was asleep by the time we'd traveled the three blocks to the river. When I peeked in at JFK he was still out, so we just continued on to the Eliot Bridge/Sir Richards Landing. He didn't wake up once until the moment we got home. Just a sweet run. I feel great. Wore the orange Mizunos, which are nicely balanced but have a bit more shock absorption than the Kinvara and it felt quite luxurious indeed.

Out to the Mt Auburn intersection with Leo in the stroller. He didn't go down until the very end, so it was a bit stop and go but got a few good stretches in. Very nice morning.

Leo was very patient with a couple of long phone calls so I took pity on him this morning and ran by myself. Quick jaunt out to Brattle Square at lunchtime. Hot day!

Nice easy run out to the community garden. Perfect running weather, high sixties, just after a rain so the air was cool but the ground wasn't too soggy. Felt strong - my body is coming back to me, but no straining. Took it slow.

Much precipitation today so no jogging stroller. To Harvard Square and back by the river path. Actually a nice run except for the ninny who went through a puddle and splashed me - even though I waited till the previous car had passed and clearly signaled the puddle! Gal and Eliana had sympathy for the devil, but I was mad.

Out to the JFK bridge with Leo. Lovely day after yesterday's rain. Legs feeling a bit rubbery which sounds right. He fell asleep around Western and we finished up at Hastings Park. This week was moving in the right direction.
