Seeking a better country...

Outside again, this time with Jack in the stroller.  He's getting too big, but still liked coming.  We ran to the dead deer at the side of the road and back.  It is fairly well preserved in the snowbank just east of the tennis courts at smoot park.  Probably cleaned up by now.

So Monday I skiied with my son, egro, no running.  Tuesday my legs were so trashed, I skipped.  Wednesday I fell asleep at 8 o'clock, and never got to it.  Thursday my back was wigging out, and I was reminded of another reason why running is an imperative for me:  it keeps my spine from flaring up.  So it looks like 4 days is the maximum allowable interval between runs for back reasons, along with 36 hours as the optimal interval for mental health. 

five miles before going out to dinner at Porcupine Grill.  The company was great.  The food and service were lousy.  Strongly advise against.
