Talked Steve into going with me to get dinner.  Would have liked to go the long way but the company was worth going the shorter distance.

It's Monday so I had to check out the fabulous KSW Times 2 instead of going this morning.  I WILL try to get out early and go this afternoon while the weather is supposed to be so nice, maybe even hit 70 today or tomorrow.

Still a bit chilly after 1 but the new plant has a good path that I took to I55 and back.  There was all sorts of wildlife and a lot of confused truck drivers.  At least I got a break.

No official mileage today.  If I included all my chasing I'm sure I made it, but I faced a time crunch with having the chance for "grandma-duty" with my daughter-in-law going down state for her great-aunt or "second grandma's"  funeral.

Planning on going out now while it is sunny.  Although it is supposed to be warmer in the afternoon, it might be raining.

Not a bit of rain.  Went out at lunch and again with Sarah before dinner.  \

Felt good after last night.  Hope the kids are healthy enough for the Halloween Hoedown this Saturday.

I went to teach Kindergarteners about worms as a master gardener and couldn't manage any mileage after that.

When the rain is just mist, it feels good on my face.  I never understood my son's enjoyment of running in the rain before.  It is a true Fall day with all the leaves now covering the ground.  Made my first 1/4 mile in 2 minutes.  Return trip was a lot slower with 27+  lbs to carry and I only stopped 3 times to adjust bags.  Whew!  I feel a sense of accomplishment, now if only I didn't break myself.

Day started out cold rainy and gloomy, then when the sun came out I took off way too fast forgetting that it was in the forties and only made a quarter mile before needing to turn back.  At least I got a sunshine fix and started feeling much better.  Folks came for dinner and we had a very nice time.
