AM: Run with the Radda crew from GFC. We had thirteen people in our group this morning, and for once the men barely outnumbered the women. We were like a herd. The conditions were amazing this morning, nice and cool with post-rain shimmer on everything. The canal section is like running Oregon--very lush. Quite a contrast with the ice and snow from only 7 weeks ago. Pace was easy this morning. I need to take more time after the run to stretch, as I feel a little tight. I'll try to do it tonight. Need to keep things loose for the next week. PM: Heather ran down to my office pushing Jack and then we all ran home from my office together. We stopped at the little play area on 4th Ave on the way home so we could push Jack in the swing for a minute. Strange thing happened. There was another little boy we didn't know there playing in the sand, probably four years old. When we arrived, he looked up at me and very earnestly asked "are you Jack?" Sort of startled, I said, "no, but he is"--pointing to my son. The boy didn't offer anything more to provide any clue about his intuition. He just sort of acknowledged that Jack was now there and he continued playing.
