Comments: Ran around the area of Hurley and Fulton this evening. Beautiful night, heard the frogs croaking again. Ran out of gas after a few miles--did not eat before going out. Worked on my form a bit. Felt a slight soreness in my inner left knee at the beginning. Calves felt tight, especially my right calf. Went really slow, so slow I was not even really exerting myself. Finished about four miles in 45 minutes. The nice thing about going slow is I am more alert and aware of what is going on around me. No back pain. Wore leggings, racing shorts, technical shirt and technical jacket, which felt just right. Found the small Japanese-inspired garden at the corner of Sebastian and Gladstone, which was different than reported a few weeks ago. Seeing some regularity on my runs--the janitor leaves the gymnasium door open at Thomas A Edison Elementary School; a man sits alone on his porch near Sebastian Way and Greenhills Drive; Wednesday represents the night before trash pickup, so people roll out their bins to the curb. Usually the Winterstein Community Center parking lot is full, but tonight it was empty. On the way home, we listened to Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air. Her interviewee talked about why she had a second child: in part, because her daughter said she "did not want to be a lonely." By which, she meant, "only". Cute.
