Yeah, it's gone daddy gone.

Phil Collins in space.

Evening run with the boy. a debate about where to go, how far to go, and how fast. He preferred one, seven minute mile. I said I couldn't do that, like physically. His reaction was challenging. I don't want him to make me run faster than I feel comfortable doing. Isn't that acceptable?

I also don't want to freak him out about my health concerns. They may be entirely in my head. But seriously, a flat-out seven minute mile? Not my thing anymore.

That went very well. I set the pace with the music, which made it easier for me. It was fun! Up the street, up the hill, along the main city thoroughfare and then down, down, downhill. Nice.

Now. I promised ice cream.
