            The day was full of rain.  I ran/walked for a good hour, quite unexcitedly.  I listened to Sunday’s “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” episode—it was nothing mush memorable.  I couldn’t run full speed.  My legs were hurting all the time.  Rest says the doctor—the doctor who lives between my ears.

            Today, the body is feeling quite good.  Ran/walked while talking to friends in Russia and in Albania.  How nice it is to live in a world where we can be so connected to everyone.  My legs and body are troublesome, but not debilitating.  After 40 minutes or so, I realized that since I am next to Valley High School, I could easily run around their track.  I was pleased to learn that they have a sign posted welcoming runners and joggers onto their facilities.  I was a bit surprised, but NOW I realize that their main football stadium is way down Valley West Drive, so this place is merely an practice facility. 
            I ran 400 meters, as you can read above.  I was out of my comfort zone as I was running, but I was still pushing it.  My time of 83 seconds is by no means anything great, but it’s not horrible.
