I ran three laps around the “long block” from the house tonight after dinner. It was dark, but I ran past diners eating outside on East Boulevard, and people sitting on their porches on Floral, and people walking down my street in the twilight. There is something so comforting about running along the streets where I grew up. I know them so well, and yet go such long stretches without seeing them, that I could probably run 10 laps and not get bored. I love this neighborhood. I love my parents’ little house, even if it is not really big enough for six now-adults. I love the trees and the hills in Charlotte, and the cleaner air.
I’ve been getting headaches in the late afternoon. I told Mom today while we were at the post office that perhaps the clean air is too much for me, and that I need to go back to the smog. The guy checking his PO box next to us almost laughed out loud.
YESTERDAY:

I ran with Katie. She’s too fast for me. 😉 She said the route was 3 miles, but there’s absolutely no way it was that far because 1) I’m slow and 2) we were talking and 3) there were hills. Probably more like 2.5 miles.
