I ran twice around the base this morning - once in both directions.  It rained for several hours last night, so is a lot cooler and the humidity has dropped.  After that, I stopped by for some gatorade, a potty break and went out again.  I was hoping to do 12-15 miles, but ran around the high school track for 4 miles and had to make some emergency potty breaks, so decided to head back to my dauther's house.

We went out this afternoon and bought some chocolates, nutella, and risotto mixes (my new love) and I have packed and weighed my suitcases.  I am taking back a full suitcase and a dufflebag (only came with the suitcase) and we shipped off two boxes full of books, pasta and chocolate yesterday. 

I am filling out postcards today and hope to do another few miles walking around base tonight.

It has been a pleasure to run around Italy - but I am ready to come home and let my knees and ankles quit hurting and get my stomach back to food it is used to. It has loved the new food in one way - but my digestive track has not loved it in others.

 

Later: Walked 3.5 miles around base to put my postcards in the mail and kill time.
