September 30: Dedicated to the creatures of the fringes



 
Cool night tonight. 
We walked our Route,
after I'd been yanking and chopping 
yard and fringes jungle

September 28: Dedicated to being close enough

mugginess heavy in the air 

for today's duo, then solo walk jog/slog

Our same old, same old, 

double-headed cul-de-sacs routine


then my own random wandering add-ons 

with a handheld headlamp

it's getting dark so early now

until I'd worked it up to 4.28 miles

It's gettin' spookified out there

Too early for Halloween! 
Oh, well... close enough, I suppose.
 

Dedicated to being close enough

September 27: Dedicated to Shirley Jackson

Two-part run/walk 
 
tonight
 
Before and after calling the police 
 

about the continuing trespassing and vandalism next door
 
I still managed to get 5.46 miles completed 
by full dark 

even with the half hour I lost
 
I must say I am sick of this INVASION
I feel like we're next-door neighbors 
to Merricat and Connie 
from "We Have Always Lived in the Castle"
Dedicated to Shirley Jackson

September 26: Dedicated to that hope

Walk after the rain
Rainy Saturday
I forgot to join Zoom Yoga this morning, 
so when I felt like wimping out on the evening promenade
 I refused to allow myself to do so

I got in 3.29 miles in 59:55

Oh. 
Well.
Gee. 

It felt so much faster

Hoping I'll get faster again someday

Dedicated to that hope

September 24: Dedicated to knowing when to STOP


Solo, distant 5k
 That's what I bought the Soleus 
 

to tell me
 

Dedicated to knowing when to

 
STOP

September 23: Dedicated to Scarecrow families

Another day, another DONE

Duo and distant, just about dusk
Dedicated to scarecrow families
popping 
up 
all over

September 22: Dedicated to GOOD COUNTS

 Duo mostly; two miles for me, 

about 1.5 for my partner in traipsing

Wouldn't it be nice if this habit helped 
our cholesterol levels?
 

Dedicated to good cholesterol counts!

September 21: Dedicated to the letter D

Another bright fall 
 
afternoony-eveningy duo walk
 
Distanced, yup 
 
Dilatory..?      Maybe
 
Done, for certain 
 
A done duo dilatory 
 
distanced day's demise
 
Dedicated to the letter D

September 20: Dedicated to every day being a new beginning

It really is turning autumn! 

We took an earlier walk than last night, 
but evening is falling faster every day. 
 

We were duo for a slightly shorter version of our regular route 
- kids in the cul-de-sacs or what-not - 
then I did a randomly-wandering solo add-on 
 
to bring it up to 5k for myself.
I am so glad for the cooling days. 
 

Dedicated to every day being a new beginning.
