We're just fucking animals.

I pull my soleus all the time.
What the fuck was I thinking?

We run because we can. As long as time is available we, should run.

There is also, ow, the consideration as whether to wait until the afternoon or evening, to run with one of my children. However, as the school year comes to a close, there are more afternoon activities. More business. More life, out in the world. So, morning runs it is.

Passed a man on the trail by the pond. Maybe seventy? He may have appeared older because he was using a cane, his calf was bandaged. He called out to me, so I stopped.

He smiled and said, "I'm jealous!" 

I laughed and said, "You'll join me!" 

He laughed, too. But is that true? When will that be me? How soon? Last night we saw an outdoor concert on the lawn in front of the high school. And I thought, what if? What if my father had not suffered a massive heart attack (he was always going to suffer a massive heart attack) or had survived it?

Surely, he would have needed a cane to reach the high school. Or a walker. Or a chair.
