A run with good company

I had another good run Thursday. Again, it was about 7 miles. Nice and easy 8 - 8:10 pace. I got off the road a bit and ran on the trails in Bicentennial Park. Porter loved it. She saw four moose. One was pretty close that she gave a “woof” at to show who was boss.

(Porter at 4 months. She's 1 year now and still just as ferocious.)

I picked Dylan up from the airport Thursday night and we had a nice talk with Maylen up at the Prosser house. Tried to keep the conversation light but found that rather difficult with all that is going on. I imagine that will continue for some time.

We had all missed the live news but heard that there was a clip about Laird on the KTUU news Thursday evening. We watched it on the Internet and were generally happy though, as Maylen said, there was a lot more to Laird than just the runner. How true that is.

My run felt good. I am very happy to be active again, though this is only day two on a long road. There were some slight aches and pains that I have become accustomed to and some sore joints from trying to keep my balance on the ice but nothing too uncomfortable. Porter truly enjoys glancing back at me as if to say “come on dad, let’s get moving.” Take it easy pup. We’re just getting going.
