It was 7:37am when I started and the sun was up.  It's been a couple of days since I ran this, so the only thing I remember is stopping to talk to Rob Carlock, my old supervisor at RWCD.  I asked how it was going and he said, "It's dry up."  We had a chuckle together.  He asked how far I was walking.  I told him I was actually jogging, and I'm just getting over Covid, so I'm just doing a mile and a half.  That pretty much ended the conversation.

I finally did two loops.  It was nice and dark out.  6:45am when I left.  A bit cold, but as usual, I was wearing shorts and a T-shirt.  I was thinking I wasn't going to see anybody today.  But as I was heading south after crossing Adobe, I saw two walkers on the other side of the Canal.  (BTW, I know it's not proper English to capatlize Canal in the context I'm using it, but since I'm referring to the Roosevelt Water Conservation District Canal, and I used to work for them, I do.)  Since the Canal is empty right now, one of the walkers decided they would take the opportunity to walk down the steps.  It was dark, but I could tell she was a girl.  I wasn't sure about the other.  But they both sat down on the steps and when they said good morning to me, it was obvious that they were both girls.  One of them put her phone on the sloped bank of the Canal.  It started to slide down, and they both started saying, "Oh no!  Oh no!"  It was mildly funny.  I finished my two loops and I'm feeling A-ok.

About a week ago I received a package in the mail from Ragnar.  It was a box of Emergen-C that they sent out to all the 2020 team captains.  That was nice.  I set it on my night stand.  A few days ago I brought it upstairs and asked my wife where I should put it. (We're still renovating, so I have no idea where anything goes anymore.)  She said she was going to take it to Maggie.  Maggie thinks she has Covid.  So it was put on the stand next to the front door.  And there it remained until today.  I texted Maggie to see if she was feeling better and if she still wanted the medicine.  She said no and yes.  But she didn't respond until after I had started running.  My plan was to just run it over to her house.  Luckily she responded during my first loop, so I just ran home, grabbed a Walmart bag, and ran to her house.  We talked for a while.  At one point my knee started to tense up, as it sometimes does after I finish running.  I thought I was going to fall down, but I stood there and pretended it didn't hurt.  Then I ran down to University, over to the east side of the Floodway, and back home.
