My schedule called for 8 this morning, so I took Maja and we ran across the U campus and continued north to 11th Ave, then over to F Street (4 miles). I never like returning the same way on that route, so we diverted east at Federal Heights Way on the way back, continued east to Primary Children's, then through Fort Douglas and Research Park and back home. By the time I got to my street, I was at 8.9, so I continued just far enough to make it an even 9. Maja got stung by a wasp on 11th Ave. It managed to plant itself precisely in a spot on the back of her left foreleg where she couldn't reach it with her teeth, so I had to flick it off after I finally figure out what was going on. Must not have been this wasp's first time around the block. Nothing overly interesting or troubling to report. Legs are feeling pretty good right now, with no ongoing pains or anything that leads me to believe I'm approaching trouble. The only consistent complaint I've had this summer is my lower back pain in the area where I injured myself while boogie boarding in Hawaii 7 years ago. Still need to get to a massage therapist for that one.
