Did it. Got up, got out, ran. Did NOT get up as early as I'd intended but still made the effort and saw it through. It felt great, it was just one small block, about 1/3 of a mile, but it was a start. And it brought back memories, too. However I'm a bit pensive about this plan because as soon as I started running I could feel the tingling sensations in my arms. The disc herniations, those likely to make my life incredibly constrained if/when a surgical need comes about, don't care much for impact. So, a quandary is at hand. Tomorrow I'll run again, and see how it goes. I want to see this through in it's simplest of forms. It might require rethinking, relocating to a track, or perhaps substituting biking as a fallback. We'll see. I want to do this, but I don't want to look back in 6 months and realize I put my long-term well being at risk, either. Work was productive, but man it's getting old being in the house 24x7. Jen/I took Scottie to local park to run free and he enjoyed it, but it's nerve wracking when he seems to be running away and not responding to us, so places without traffic are more appealing. We did a facetime Happy Hour with Jon and Cheryl and it was fun, with minor hiccups, and although I strongly prefer being in person, it's got potential. I'm thinking about setting up the living room and MediaMac w/Zoom and a webcam in anticipation of future uses, but screen sharing on the iPad might be sufficient, provided I can position the ipad well. I'll test it out. Dog got washed, Jen watched a few Better Call Saul's and I, having finished Ishmael last night, gleefully stumbled across "Apropos of Nothing", the just released Woody Allen Autobiography. Just into chapter one and enjoying immensely. I've neglected some of his latest films but I've been a fan for decades of a wide range of his work. Hearing about the music and movies he was exposed to as a child is a delight to a fan of cinema. Eager to continue listening.
Gratitude: Stumbling across a book I'm certain to enjoy
Goal: Run again tomorrow, same distance, perhaps with the cross-training shoes that might absorb more impact.
Watched some Better Call Saul, Listened to Apropos of Nothing.
