Usual 10k at an unusual time.  Ah, Mayday.  Such a beautiful morning with birdsong and cool, scented air.

Typical 10k with a couple miles of rain.  Drinks at the baseball park.  Tonight nobody was making out on the playground, because of the aforementioned meteorological phenomena.

8 wet, rainy miles on Saturday morning.  Maybe I could have run longer, but had to get back to help at the church with chairs.  Oh joy.  The rain lasted all day, so I did a pork shoulder for Mother's day.  Yum.  Now the lawns are behind, as is customary.

Typical 10k, with Gabriel.  He sat like a lunk.  He played with a headlamp.  He zoned out staring at it in blinking mode.  I took it away and gave him a lego and tennis ball.  He never moved.

Mellow, Mellow little boy

Sit and clutch your baby toy.

Do not make a move at all

Rest in peace you will not fall.

I can't believe that child.  He is so sweet. 

On a separate note, it was a noticably warm night for early May.  I had him in feet pjs, and I think it was too hot for him.

It was such a perfect night when I got home around 9, I had to go out and enjoy it.  Gabriel had a late nap, so we got him bundled up against the 59 degrees.  @kfill5  As I pumped up the tire in the driveway, a few spittles of rain started, but in the diminishing twilight, the clouds looked diffuse, so off we went.  10 minutes later it was raining steadily.  When we turned around to head home, the wind and rain intensified. 

All the while Gabe sat there holding a ping pong ball, a plastic spoon and sucking a binky.  He never moved, or complained.  When it really started coming down, he fussed a bit, and let me put the blanket over his face for the last mile.

Another gorgeous, cool evening.  By the time I left, baby was in bed and the rain was finished.  Looped around in a couple spots to look at the swollen creeks, and on the way back, felt left IT band pain, for the first time in years.  It woke me up a couple times overnight, and I limped around this morning till the ibuprophen kicked in.  What the?  I know I took my foot off the gas, but I didn't think I'd see problems from 6 years ago creep up on me...
