Running on Empty

You may have picked up from my monthly summaries that I have traveled back to Ohio to see my Mom a few times during the past few months.  Her health is very poor.  Over the last few days she seems to have gotten much worse. It's not looking good.

This morning I needed my run just to stay sane. No Garmin, just me and my running shoes and some winter running gear.  I was out before the sun came completely up over the mountains and probably could have left my sunglasses at home.

However, oncoming traffic may have needed sunglasses; this particular jacket is a BRIGHT neon yellow.  I don't think this photo does it justice. It served it's purpose, I'm confident that I was visible.

I"m guessing I only ran about two miles. Afterwards, I took the dogs for a short walk. It helped.  I feel like I'm ready to face whatever today might bring...
