| | Saturday I helped my wife's BFF move. I'm not used to manual labor anymore, so I was sore. I was also wheezy when I was done. But after resting Sunday, I finally felt like I might be able to hit the road again. I decided to run my small 1.44 mile loop down the floodway and up the canal. It actually didn't hurt that bad and there was no wheezing. After, I started cleaning the pool because it's a green mess. As I was cleaning, I kept hearing this nose behind the wall in the floodway. It sounded like either a kid or a cat because it kept making the same noise. I didn't want to check it out because Emily was with me. A couple of minutes went by and decided it sounded more like a kid than a cat. So I told Emily to sing me a song and not stop so that I could hear her and go look over the wall. I saw a barefoot girl walking along the trail. (This is the same trail that kills my feet when I'm wearing the wrong shoes.) I thought she was calling for her mom. From behind she looked like a girl that I've seen at church that has mental health issues. I hollered at her, but she didn't hear me. I got Emily out of the pool area, locked the fence, and took off. I had to run all the way around the block to get on the trail. The trail winds a little and has some trees next to it, so it took a while before she came into view. She heard me coming and turned around. It wasn't the girl I thought it was. I asked her if she was all right. She said yes and that her dog ran away last night. I told her I would keep an open for it and that she worried me when I saw her walking barefoot on the trail. Anyway, after that embarrasing situation was over, I started my GPS and ran back home. So, I got over 2 miles in today. Hooray for me!
