Hot. Thirsty. HUNGRY!!!
I swear it was only 81º when I took off. I still would have gone running, on this hot and sunny day, as insane as that may be. The wife is in Tuscon this weekend, and right now the kids are at friends' houses. This is my time. So I run.
WARNING: Groin talk.
The other day -- National Running Day -- I really pushed it out. Today was wearying (check that pace, I had to stop twice to walk a block-length) but Thursday I was making myself miserable. And that night my right hip ached the way it hadn't since I was in training, five years ago. That night, while defecating (warned you) my varicose vein started flaring up. It hasn't done that in years.
The wife says I need to lose weight. And she's right.

I am not of that age.
I am entirely of that certain age. On first listen through Director's Cut, I wasn't impressed and still prefer the originals. Kate's voice doesn't sound quite a supple as it used to (whose does?). I agree with the article's author - I'll set this aside as an aperitif to her newer stuff.
P.S. My captcha word was, appropriately, 'whine'.
By the way, I came around to your neighborhood for the garage sales before my rehearsal today, but you were already off on your run. Sorry I missed you.
Sorry I missed you - we had to break down at 11.30 for the kids' baseball game.
