am - Got home late from work and could not get in my short and quick morning run. Had to to get to bed instead. I also did not sleep well today. I kept waking up. This will come back to get me working tonight I believe.
afternoon - Wanted to go at least 6. 1.6 into it I saw Steve Jones. He is a local runner who lives on the other side of the county. He said he owns a rental house here in town and decided to run from there today. We ran the next 3.4 miles together. It was a casual pace and we were able to keep up a conversation. It has been a few years since I have run with someone and I enjoyed it. But running and talking was a little harder than I remembered. After we went our seperate ways I ended up with about 6 1/2. Once home I took off my shoes and had a little surprise. A spot of blood was on my sock about the size of a nickel. Apparently my "index" toe was rubbing against the nail of my "middle" toe. I am not sure what made this happen today, but I will trim the nails and use a band-aid for a couple of days.
night - Wanted to get in a couple of more miles before work.
