It was a nice hot day. No one was at the track - except the black mummy-lady. As I was getting out of the truck and was wondering what to do with my keys and phone, I looked up and saw a figure dressed all in black. She had on a black coat hood, a piece of something black draped over her face leaving only a small gap to look through, a navy sweatshirt and the fluffiest black cargo sweatpants I have ever seen. It was really hot - hot enough that I left my water bottle in the back of the truck in the shade instead of in the oven, I mean cab. Should I take the phone so when this lady passes out I can call for help? I left it in the car thinking it might be exciting to add a little adrenalin to my workout if I had to sprint to the truck to summon an ambulance. I should have been paying more attention to my own doings. On the first warm-up lap I noticed I had left the truck headlights on. Headlights? It was 5:00 p.m. I don't know. I turned them off before the second lap. I liked the running. It felt nice to be doing it. I can tell that gradually building up the stamina had actually worked. The first workout for this week was done in a reasonable time after the first week. This workout, however, was not and it was harder than it had been the first time. This probably really is the program for me. I was relieved to see the black mummy lady doing her cool down - with a bottle of water. That's good. As she walked away from the track I noticed she wasn't getting into a car. I hoped she lived close. When I was headed home, I saw her across the street from the track in her garage. I bet someone was keeping an eye on her. Whew.
