Summer in Glen Ellyn...

5.7 miles

Hot day, Low 90’s, humid as can be

Mid afternoon


Just under an hour

Ran in Glen Ellyn this weekend. Nicki was dogsitting for mom and dad who are in Washington hiking up some good stories for us. Also got to see a couple cute babies that live out in these parts.

Ran with Nicki for about 2.5 miles past the Dairy Queen. This is the store where she worked when we were 16 or 17. We first got to know each other there and she let me make Blizzards with my friends behind the counter when her boss wasn't around. We were a lot cooler back then.

Walked a good bit on my run. Ran over to my parent's shop to say hi and see my dad, Aunt Candy was there too. She called me crazy for running in the swampy weather and offered me a ride back to Nicki’s, which, I have to admit, I felt a bit crazy turning down. Chugged some water and ran back.

By the time I got there, Nicki was about to hop in the car with a cold water bottle to come find me. I had spent too much time chatting and she figured I might have parked myself somewhere to quietly suffer heatstroke. Its good to have someone looking out for you.

Here's one of the cute kids we hung out with this weekend.


And now there's only one other baby around here that I can't wait to meet...
