You run for cover ... and there's heat.

Racing before imminent rain. Can hear the high wind. Will try not to hurt myself.

Gorgeous day. Bright blue, cloudy skies, windy. Could have gone an additional mile, the rain will come later, maybe. Doesn't matter, felt so good.

Route: Forest Hill Loop
Temperature: 60°

Mood: good
Stretches: yes
Water: yes

Great fun seeing Marshall Crenshaw with my brother the other night. I could say a thing or two about mortality, suffice it to say my picture of him is as a clean-cut, proto-Buddy Holly type in his music and his style. Now he's a man in his early seventies who is still on the road, wears a t-shirt and cap, and though he does play the hits, his voice is not what it was when he was in his late twenties.

However, he's kept writing songs, those more suited for a man his age, about long life and even regret, and those are the ones which were really strong. It was a weird show. We had a good time.

Twelve every other day runs. Let's see how far we can take that. It's all right if we drop a date.
