I went running again yesterday. That's two days in a row. I did the Pump Station trail again (1.5 miles), which is pretty weak, but you have to start somewhere. Also, the entire run can be done in a half-hour--from the time I walk out of my house, to the time I walk back in. That makes it untra convenient. Last night I went a little too late and in some of the more dense areas of the forest it go hard to see roots and other ankle-injuries-in-waiting. I think I need to plan to be finished by 6pm at the latest for now.

I took Kona with me too. She is a surprisingly good jogging dog. I left her off-leash and she stayed with me the entire time, except once, when she started to chase some small animal. But she immediately stopped and returned as soon as I called (which is not normal behavior for her). I didn't let her swim in the river because I don't plan on bathing her again before the weekend, and it would just be too gross for guests on Wednesday if she was soaked with river water between now and then. Perhaps Friday we'll go swimming/fishing if the weather is still nice....

Do I have any readers who are especially fond of fishing or would like to go sometime?
