Comments:
Ran with Ilana! She can run again! I'm so happy! When she told me she was up for 3 miles, her longest run since being cleared by the doctor, I reminded her that that last time we'd done a long run she's been, well... let's not go into that. More importantly, the time before that I took her on her longest run ever was at XC camp last August and it was followed by a stellar fall season. Let's hope this "long run" has the same effect. We jogged 3 miles down into Andy Garin's parents neighborhood off of Jamestown Road near the secret park and the Little Falls trail. Sections of Geico Loop were inadvertently involved. It was quite hot out. I was quite tired from yesterday, so the pace was just right. We passed a house that looks like a mushroom (deliberately so, I'm told). We ended the run by wandering on some back streets near GDS that I've hardly ever run down. I was very pleased with myself for keeping the run to exactly 3 miles and not letting my enthusiasm for running and conversation lead me to overshoot by 10 miles. Afterwards, I got to meet and play with the Zellingers' very large dog.
