I made it home in time to run on a beautiful afternoon as the sun was setting. I wasn't sneaky enough to leave the house without three little ones in tow; 2 on bikes, 1 in the stroller. We slowly made our way over to the dinosaur park they like (2 miles). I dropped them off at the play equipment and ran laps with Jack. The first one I noticed a strong south wind, and knew it was going to take forever to get home. I ran 3.5 at the park, then collected the girls, and herded cats home into the wind. They whined. They complained. They were tired. We made 12 minute miles. It was getting dark fast, and we didn't have any evening gear to enhance visibility, so each street crossing was nerve-wracking. Jack sat silent and motionless in the stroller until the last mile, when he started shaking his bowling-ball head "NO" back and forth. My rt knee felt a bit sore, tendinitis kind of sore. Or maybe it's the shoes? I feel about 85% recovered from this cold. The extra sleep has been nice; I need to get to bed earlier. I'm loving the daylight in the morning, for just a few more days before it all gets tacked on to the end of the day.
