On the Back Side

We're on the back side of summer, especially this one that's overall been pretty mild. Hard to believe we're in the latter days of August already. All the rain this past week jacked up the humidity and this morning was, in a word, moist. I was amazed, though, at how low the creeks were already. We had a couple of inches over several days, so maybe this is a sign that our drainage system through the creeks out to the big lakes is working correctly. I wouldn't bet on it. The parks have flooded several times since we moved here and I don't think there has been that much work on the system.

I ran 6 miles with an extra walk thrown in at about the 4.5-mile mark. That's still the tough part of the route with the breeze at your back. It's almost like the air is still since you don't get any cooling effect. I also walked the last block or so since The Wife was out walking and our paths intersected after I'd come back into the neighborhood. No complaints here on getting to spend a few unexpected minutes with her. Now we're off to the rest of the weekend.
