Black Friday

 Catching up on my blog:

Wednesday I planned to run.  It rained most of the day.  I dressed for a run but did not find a time between rain showers to run.  40 degrees and rain is not fun so I ran inside on the treadmill.  I don't use the treadmill enough to be completely confident.  I picture myself sliding off the back and ending up on an episode of "America's Funniest Home Videos".  I did get in a workout.

Yesterday was Thanksgiving.  We met Jen and John and Willow at Castlewood State Park and took a nice hike.  Then they came back to our house to eat.  They have friends that have been staying with them a couple weeks who also came.  Since we have know a few people who have been very careful and still got COVID and the COVID rates in St. Louis are extremely high, we had ours guests eat outside.  Jen and John have had students in the classroom so are nervous about exposure to the virus.  We ate early so they could get home for Willow's nap.  I wanted to go for a late afternoon run but Jim ate too much.

Today is black Friday.  I did not shop.  I will do most of my shopping on line.  Jim and I took a nice easy run on the Al Foster Trail.  Jim's knee is still bothering him so he doesn't want to do hills.  I ran negative splits.  They were slow negative splits.  Jim ran 3 miles then walked because his knee hurt.
