Amongst the walking wounded.

We're drinking again. This obsession with diet, I keep sipping sugar instead of eating food. But then I'm also eating food. But I was writing a lot yesterday, and alcohol was a companion. It could as easily be seltzer. So seltzer it will be.

These short daily runs, the two-milers, they keep me moving. A commitment. Some summers I am unable to run, in pain, or injured. I want to take advantage of good weather as long as is possible. And no more marathons!

Later, the girl asked if I wanted to take a six mile run. Mid-day, warm run. These distances you really need to have water, but we neither brought any nor passed any fountain. Then again, I think all public fountains have been shut off for the duration.

We both thought five miles was a totally fine distance, and walked the rest of the way. We got to talk a lot. These are the good things.
