12
Tonight I completed the first 12-mile run of my training regimen with relative ease, and aside from some anticipated, typical post-long run soreness that I’ll feel in the morning, I expect that my longest run to date will go down in the history books as an unqualified success.
…and on the subject of unqualified successes, Jessie’s family reunion this past weekend was a truly pleasurable experience. What I enjoyed the most was the variety of accents - from Alabama, Kansas, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Montana - though now that I think about it, perhaps everyone else sounded normal and it was yours truly who sounded funny. Anyway, with the knowledge of a few more faithful blog readers that I didn’t know of (even those who are understandably reticent in posting a comment), I left the reunion with a few more friends as well, or rather, a few more close family members.
