I'm chill like that.

Pretty epic.

Here's the thing about my last run, or my last two runs. They were slogs. Often, I am feeling down but when I hit the road I feel great. It's kind of why I do this.

The last two runs, especially on Monday, and in spite of the lighter weather, it took effort to lift my feet. And then on Tuesday I just tapped out at work. I almost passed out, twice, I think. Not feeling well. No pain, no temperature, just malaise, dizziness, exhaustion. I slept thirteen hours on Tuesday night.

The consistency, it has been a gift. Sometimes you need time off. We have been driving to Maine, getting in and out of a car has been arduous. Just sitting down. Just walking. Sitting down is actually more difficult that standing up. I need to see a doctor.

And now, we are on vacation. We are in Maine. I did not know if she would be with me, but she is. Beside me, holding hands, reading, drinking, writing, loving. It was a difficult drive (my leg, the weariness) but here we are. Currently at peace.

I'm not a fugitive on the run.

For some people, tapering before a big race means not running for five days. (smh)

It's been a week. Late nights in rehearsal, early mornings for all kinds of reasons. Not much time in or around the home, hard to get a run in.

Also, what to listen to? Anyway, not your problem.

Old school hip-hop. That's what you listen to.

Stretches: yes

My knee hurt a little, that was odd. Otherwise, just a lovely spring day. Maybe I'll run tomorrow, maybe not. Sunday's forecast is a high of 62° and partly cloudy, which is ideal, and it's much better than snow.

Got to pick up my race packet today. Wish me luck.
