6:45 am Longish run, 11 going to Farmington State street and back, then almost 5 on the grass of the soccer field. My oldest was out with the old men playing ultimate. I watched his run around like a frolicking deer for a 1/2 hour. It's hard to believe, and it pains me that he'll be leaving in 3 weeks. Those were my first grass miles all year, also my longest run to date in the kinvara 3's. They held up pretty well. It's remarkable how adaptable we are; a couple weeks ago, after a 16 miler with Nate I was totally wiped out, and couldn't have run another step. Today was just another day, with several hours of helping the neighbors move just after getting home. A good friend came over yesterday and spent 12 hours buttoning up odds and ends with finish carpentry. We've lived in our home for exactly 10 years, and now there are no missing pieces of baseboard. It's funny how long we've lived with drywall sticking out, and missing pieces here and there. Life is like that. We've all got unfinished business we are working on, and some of what we neglect is pretty ugly, but we are accustomed to it, so we rarely notice our own shortcomings. I hope it doesn't take another 10 years to complete the paint touch up... |
