Ran steady state. Felt good. Stopped in time. Read the following, “She took refuge in her composure.” It’s a character description of royalty, but I can’t remember where it’s from. The idea works for me sometimes. Sometimes rage wins. Must be a personal flaw of the common folk, and I am certainly that. Common.

I think that Sunday is a day of rest… except for the picture taking, processing, fantasy football, wood chopping and watching New York Giants football.

I am going running now. Later than I wanted to. It is still raining. Will be until June. I am wondering if it counts as a run or is it penance of some obscure religious sort. Or what? This is what I’m saying: run five days in a row, Monday to Friday, then run on Saturday which could be six days in a row or only five, with a long-run on Saturday. See what I’m saying? Ummm, no not really….
