Running Anyway

I was tired today but I had to run four miles if I wanted to get in 30 for the week.  We were away a good chunk of the day.  If I ran I would not be able to make dinner.  As it was Mother's Day I didn't want my wife to do that.  I ran anyway.

Warblers are back.  In the tall maples and white pines on Dugway Road I can hear them.  I heard one I couldn't quite identify.  Another was a black-throated blue.  Welcome back north little dudes.

My run today was slow.  My pace was slower for four miles than the eleven miles I put in yesterday.  I was tuckered.  We all got to bed late after coming home from the airport.  My little boy was too excited to sleep in.  He was up at sunrise, which these days is before 6:00.

He just fell asleep.  Once he closed his eyes and relaxed it took him all of one minute, if that.  Yeah, he was tired. 

I need to go out and rake the grass clippings.  They are thick, since we hadn't cut the lawn yet and it was tall.  That can't wait too long so I need to put in some time at it.  Tomorrow I will be tired again.  I will try not to do it too close to dinner, but I will probably run anyway.
