After dawdling and distracting my way through Friday and Saturday without running, I took to the streets tonight just as the sun was floating on the horizon. Daughter No. 3 came along for company and to test out a pair of do-fer shoes handed down from daughter No. 2. D3 has a track meet tomorrow and she hasn't done much running since cross country last fall. A couple of days of practice indicate her feet have grown. We'll be shopping soon, but she needed something to get through the first meet -- doing the 800.
She stuck with me for the first mile and a half and decided to call it a night. And a night it was. Dusk was now fast approaching, but I needed to go farther, having gotten lax the past couple days. Alas, in my haste to hit the road with Moll, I neglected to grab a bag for goodies. That meant no cans. I did spot an orange stick-on reflector that had come un-stuck from something that'll be a little harder to see in gloaming now. Later I came upon yet another glove, a rather cool Hawk brand Armor Skin glove (right hand). It was hard to spot, appearing as a dark blotch in the middle of the street with little natural light left.
So I didn't return empty-handed. That always sucks. Just need to remember a bag for those cans.
