| | My muscles were real sore this morning. I contemplated doing 3 loops today, but because of how my legs were feeling I was leaning more towards just 2. Plus, I want to be fresh for tomorrow. I figured I would decide while I was running whether or not to go 3.
It was dark out. I saw a lady up ahead of me on Adobe walking her dogs. I hoped she would continue straight, but she turned up the Floodway path. I made sure to let her know I was coming when I got close so as to not spook her. I was hoping my legs would loosen up and they finally did after a half mile. When I got to Brown and went over to the Canal road, I saw a boy walking with a skateboard. I told him good morning. Then I could see a light coming up the way. It was another lady walking a dog. So many people out in the dark this morning. Then I could see two more figures down the path. I told them good morning. They said good morning back to me as we passed and that's when I noticed it was the Ray's. I said, "Oh hey, Ray's." When I got to Adobe I still thought about doing 3 loops, but a quarter of a mile later, my knee started hurting a tad so I decided two would be fine. I came back up the Floodway path and saw Jeff sleeping under his jacket again. It's kinda getting cold now, so I hope he gets a thicker jacket. It was starting to get light out. Right before I got to Adobe I saw the same lady and her dog again, but she had taken off her headlamp. When I got on Adobe I saw the Ray's again and wished them a great day.
So, our landlord wants to put the house on the market. He offered to sell it to us, but my wife hates it. Seems as though we'll be moving again shortly. I'll miss my neighbors and friends and ward and Jeff and my running paths. I hate moving. We do it so often. It would be nice to actually be able to settle down somewhere. Hopefully this is the time.
