Comments: Complete exhaustion this evening only half-way through my run. Had half of a glass of red wine and a wrap about 15-30 minutes before the run. I guess the wine is out from now on. Felt thirsty, as well. Made it through to the end, though I had to slow down. The high winds, moderate temperatures, and the nearly full moon made for some electric weather. I found a large palm tree branch in the street and moved it to the curb. There is a very friendly, collar-less calico cat on Kimberly Way just before Wingate Drive, and it was out again tonight, so I stopped and scritched it's back. Prior to the run, Dawn and I took our binoculars outside and moon-gazed for several minutes as the moon rose over the horizon. It looked magnificent and enormous at sunset. Hoping tonight's exhaustion does not indicate a return of the previous week's cold.
