Tonight's run, which was meant to be a little over two miles, included one stop for "sniffing," and ended just before the two-mile mark, when Ginny refused to run any further. I considered unhooking the leash and letting her trot home, but we were still a little too close to the highway, and I was feeling a little lightheaded myself, so we got a quarter-mile or so to cool down. "Cool," of course, is a relative term around here.
The running journal is a little light on entries. In my defense, I have been playing softball twice a week, and Frisbee once a week, so it's not like I'm sitting on my duff playing Halo all day. However, I said I'd be running, and here I am, showing off my lack of progress to the entire blogosphere (or, at least, the portion of said sphere that reads this blog, a number rumored to be in the low two digits). Well, softball season is over, and my high school reunion is in ten days, so it's time to wear out those Asics. If you don't see new entries in the journal this week, it means I've suffered a stroke or been hit by a car.

Does your high school have a 15 year reunion?
No judgments here, only encouragement. I ate my way through the entire City of Chicago this weekend. I don't think my virtual trainer would approve.
I've always considered a lack of posting a sign that one has a life outside the computer...at least that's what I tell myself.
If the heat and humidity down there is anything like it is in Virginia this week, it might actually be better for your health to not run...
Today and tomorrow will be 100+ degrees, with 35-40% humidity, which, apparently, is actually kind of dry for this time of year. Yay drought, I guess. It does make the running a bit difficult, as I have to wait until after the sun goes down, which means I'm running in the dark and not eating dinner until about 10:00. I suppose I could just get up at 5:30 and run before sunrise, but that's not happening.
And this will be my 15th reunion. The 10th was kind of lame; we scheduled it for Thanksgiving weekend, which worked well for the 5th, but once people have jobs and spouses and places of their own, they don't come back to the folks for Turkey day that often. Add in a surprise six-inch blizzard, and you've got a recipe for 20% attendance.
Oops, make that 45-50% humidity. During the day. Overnight lows in the high 70s. I kind of wish the reunion was this week.
It appears we graduated in the same year. My school doesn't have the 5 year reunions. We only go every 10. Always in the summer. Which works, people like to plan trips to Montana in the summer.
