Been running for a few days, just not posting.  I'm trying to do better.  Lots going on, old demons returning, etc.  I'd be less cryptic but, you know, it's the innernet y'all.  Running helps pull me through my problems so at least there's that.  It's how I became fanatical about running in the first place, in 2009.  Of course it's a band-aid, not a cure, but you gotta stop the bleeding first.

What a weird post.  Don't worry, I'll go back to posting pictures of garbage, dry creeks and toxic ponds soon.

76F, 81%.  16 @ 7:47 AP.  Last mile in 5:57 - most of the work in the last half mile.  The only good thing about running in my neighborhood, and I really mean the ONLY good thing, is that I can situate a run to have the last mile to my house about 60' net downhill.  I can also set it up to finish 80' uphill, but you know, I don't do that.
