Monday

The cannula is still there. I tried to go really fast today, and came in about 10 minutes faster than normal. That's not bad on 5 miles, is it? It's still sort of slow, but a faster kind of slow...

Also, I met a nice kid from the neighborhood who was out on his skateboard. He asked if we have a veterinarian. I said yes, and he said he worked for one in the area. I asked him if they could tell me the gender of my snake, and he said I'd be better off checking the internet. Oh well, that would have been too weird for words if I bumped into a service I need just while walking around, huh?

That was weird...

Well, I saw the weirdest thing out there tonight. Apparently, someone lost a nasal cannula on the side of the road, I hope they're breathing OK!

Wednesday

Oh man, we've had a streak of heat and humidity here. I don't know how people live in other parts of the world! Bah! Go away heat! Go away moisture! Leave us to dessicate in peace...

I saw a dead fox up at the corner, and a rat running from it. I believe he'd been eating. Blech!

10 miles!

That's 16 km for most of you outside of the USA (no, we'll never accept the metric system.)

Can you believe that? Unless I was pressed on some death march that I've completely suppressed, I've never walked anywhere near that far in my whole life.

And you know what? It totally stank! It was awful! The first 5 miles were great, but man my body was done after 6 or so. Everything after that was willpower, and I'll probably be paying for days. But, I thought I could do it and I did. Yay!

Darn Lack of Moleskin!

Should have used it today, too. Limped for the last mile. I need to go take my shoes and socks off and look at my toes, but the thought is grossing me out so I'm stalling for time.

I saw a fox in my neighborhood! I whistled and s/he looked at me, then skulked away. They kind of always look like they're skulking though, so I don't think it had anything to do with me. I was wearing deodorant...

I also saw 3 rabbits, running in a line down the side of the street. At first, all I saw were their shadows, and I immediately determined that it must be some freakishly fast multi-legged alien being that had risen from a sewer culvert. I think I need to consider more edifying material than the last book I read.

Miles today: 5 <---Instead of the 4 I'd planned!
