I took some time off due to the near-permanent inversion that seems to have settled in the valley, then a mean but quick bout of stomach flu. There was supposed to be a storm yesterday, then today, but it never materialized. I finally decided that I couldn't afford to sit out any longer, so I texted Jake last night and we headed out at 5:30 this morning for our first run together since before Christmas. The air was thick and slightly disgusting, but neither of us died. I need to refill my inhaler prescription, especially if the rest of winter is going to be as bad as the past month. |
