Unusual Run

Tuesday pm, 7 miles untimed

I've slept in 2 days in a row, and the lesson is that I simply don't hear my alarm when it's set before 5:30 am (5:20, in this case). I planned a run with Si after work today, but I got started early when I forgot that I didn't have my bike with me and that I would be late to get home for a parental handoff. Fortunately I was wearing sneakers today, so I ran the nearly 2 miles in jeans, carrying my laptop, in about 15 minutes. Once home, I changed into my running kit, played in the backyard with Silas for a bit, then we loaded into the stroller to get a few more miles in.

Nearly home, Silas asked to get out of the stroller ("Daddy carry Silas right now"), so I obliged and we walked the last few blocks home while Silas practiced his geography ("That was Dwight Way") and pronouns ("Daddy carries you... Daddy carries me.")

Si has been getting into running himself, especially playing chasing games with the dog. The other day on a walk, he picked a hilly driveway to run up and down about 15 times. No idea where he gets this from.
