Social facilitation of a running partner

I met up with my running partner G.H. and wouldn't you know a 3 mile training run turned into 5 miles. Feeling the effects of Sunday's run and an active weekend in the sun, but I had a little left for the big hill at the finish. Either you work the hill or the hill works you as they say.

This blog just went literal, did you know you could blister between the toes? I imagine this is something First Class marathon runners know all about. Needed the old First Aid merit badge for this one, and my handy Scout First Aid Kit. That old motto--be prepared.

Final thought: ran past the Islamic Center on Mass. Ave. and for all that divides us by creed, I was moved by the soaring minaret and lightness and airy openess of the building. If only we could translate mutual architectural appreciation into a lasting peace among peoples.
