I felt okay, but not great on this run. It was a slow day.
I ran past a house with a bunch of kids playing outside and right before I ran by a little one fell off his scooter. He was crying and I asked him if he was okay--I wanted to make sure his mommy was home. He and his little sister started crying and ran away like I was some kind of monster. It's kind of sad the way we condition our children. On one hand, it's good to be cautious (and I'd probably want my kids to be leery too), but on the other hand, I'm one of their neighbors (I live just 2-3 blocks away and run past their house all the time). What a world we live in. |
