Day Two

My plan wasn’t to run consecutive day, but why not? If I can, I should and will. Today a nice breeze is blowing so I think running out 15 minute and back should be fine. We decide on a different route, but it still stars and ends in town. I think that if I listen to my IPod Shuffle, it will help. I don’t speak to Godfrey when I’m running, primarily because I have a hard time running and speaking, so what will it hurt? I hate town. I am getting tired of being ridiculed. I have to keep saying to myself that I am at least doing it and doing it for a good cause otherwise I might curl up into the fetal position and go to my happy place. Not a bad place my happy place. It’s colder there. Kids follow me again giggling and running. After 15 minutes, we turn and lose our children as we did yesterday. Going through town, Godfrey falls in step behind me. I glance around and see that he is walking and looking at those in town. I am embarrassed and a bit upset. I pick up my pace as much as I can and try to get out of town. The not really neon BPS sign can’t come too soon. I stop and stretch. Then I call Godfrey on his walking. He laughs and feels a bit embarrassed himself that he was caught. It’s hard to be mad at him. He is my running partner and protector. But I want to smack him anyway.
