Seeking a better country...

What a perfect night.  It's crisp, it's clear, there are blooms everywhere.  Dinosaur park, 2 laps and back.  Is it too early to start checking weather forecasts?  haha

Baby run.  My youngest sister had a little girl today, so I jogged over to the hospital to meet her.  She's perfect, but thus far remains nameless.  She came 2.5 weeks early, although the midwife had her arrival pegged.  Jack seems huge by comparison.  After holding baby girl for 20 minutes and eating a huge bakery chocolate chip cookie, I came home.  It's so tempting to go all out when you only have to run five; no need to save anything for 7-10.

Ample moon shadow
blossom's aroma wafting
what a perfect night 

For the first time this week I managed to run slowly. All I had to do was take 3 little girls on bikes, and one small boy in a jogging stroller.

No run tomorrow, as I complete my taper into the half-marathon. It's unfortunate how this race occurs 9 days before the main event. Part of me wants to skip it entirely.
