No Earbuds Week 2

Day 8: off

Day 9: Aach! This weather! The past days of rain plus warming temps are thawing everything out which is great. We have to get to Spring somehow. But it is a grey and dirty mess to get there. Very similar to my mop water (dog, boys, dirt bikes). Which is what I decided I would do when I got home- mop while I was still in my running clothes. 


Day 10: off

Day 11: Went for a run with a friend on the Neil Smith Trail since the dirt trails are thawing and drying out. I love being able to run with my friends to begin with but as I practice this time of silence, shared run are really highlighted. 

Day 12: I am a little sore from yesterday's run so I took Kaci on a quiet walk. Normally I catch up on a short podcast or two when taking her out but it was nothing for our mile and a half walk. I'm starting to enjoy to decluttering of my mind. 

Day 13: Today, I took care of Anne's dogs and spent the rest of my run thinking up a story from the dogs to text her while she and her family are on vacation. The real backstory is that yesterday they escaped and I had to chase them down. Today they hadn't eaten their food from yesterday so this is what I came up with.
Today we protested with a hunger strike. We've tasted freedom and we want it. We're inspired by Alexander Hamilton and Lafayette, the famous Frenchman, and so our cry is "Freedom for America! Freedom for dogs!"
On the day of their capture, they expressed no remorse, declaring this the best Spring Break ever

Day 14: "Can you go for a run at 10:00?" Yes! And so we talked, ran, walked and got some feelings out, both of us feeling a little less crazy at the end of it all.
