5 easy miles in the dark again. It was beautifully cool.

A fast 4 miles before dinner. I stopped to talk to one of the nuns who was walking to the church when I passed by. I was glad I ran into her. I didn't even realize that I needed to talk to her until I saw her. Funny how that works. Anyway, after I talked to her, I forgot to hit the start button on my garmin and didn't realize it for a while. AP was about 8:20.

We had guest speakers at the school today. Both had been adopted in infancy and searched for their birth parents in adulthood (one at 30, the other at 35). One found out she was conceived through a violent rape; the other through a father's sexual abuse of his daughter. They made a powerful argument against the abortion "exception." I hope some hearts were swayed today.

Five miles after eating a chicken wrap at the Knights of Columbus.  It was warmer out today, but not too bad.  Pace was easy, but progressively faster. 

It was dark by the time I got home.  One thing I've noticed lately that's a little weird is that I don't particularly care for running in the dark when it's nice out, but during winter it doesn't bother me.  Maybe it's because I have no choice in the winter, or maybe it's the time (usually I run before dinner in the winter) or maybe it just seems darker when the trees have their leaves.  I don't know.  But the last few times I have had to run in the dark I feel hypersensitively alert.

Have this respiratory thing going on.  I know I've complained before about this cough I've had.  Since October.  Of 2011.  I am going to the doctor today.  Again.

Exhausted yesterday.  No run.  Went to bed early instead with my (clean) running clothes on as my pajamas (does anyone else do that?).  Set the alarm for 5 so I could get in a run today (I have to supervise a football game!  Yay!).  When the alarm went off, I got out of bed.  Then I got back in bed after seeing that it was raining.  Then I got out of bed again.  Then in bed one more time before I beat back the little voice in my head that said I didn't need to run. 

Believe it or not, this only took up 5 minutes.

Then I ran my 4 miles pretty slowly.  I used the run to clear my thought-sicles.

Still under the weather. I started off just saying i'd run 3 miles. Then I kept adding to it. I'm glad I got to 7, but I think I'll be knocked on my butt for the rest of the day.
