I've been eating too much sweets lately.

So Maggie from my Ragnar team has a son that who had a brain tumor.  She found out shortly after Ragnar.  So he had surgery this week and they determined it was benign and the operation was successful.  I've been sending out text messages to the team to keep them informed.  Anyway, Glen texted me yesterday shortly after I sent the good news.  He asked if I wanted to go running today, and I told him that I could be persuaded.  I didn't see anymore texts from him, although he did text me back to say what time and where.  I just never saw it until this morning.  Luckily I had woken up at 4:30am to go potty.  I went back to sleep and my wife woke me up at 6:02 to say that Glen was here.  So I got dressed and went outside to meet him.  I wasn't sure how the run would go because my back was aching.  I stretched out.  Also, it was freezing.  But you know me.  Shorts and T-shirt.  We headed north up the Floodway path and Glen ran with me for most of the way north.  I saw a zanjero at Adobe and then later saw him driving along Greenfield.  Then I could see him parked at McKellips.  As I passed by, I looked in the window.  It was still a little dark out, but I could tell that it was Mosiah.  I said, "Mosiah!  Is that you?"  So he rolled his window down and we talked for about a minute.  Glen had already crossed the street and was running in circles waiting for me.  So I bid Mosiah farewell and rejoined Glen.  When we got to McDowell Glen started to put a little distance between us.  Right before the turn around I stopped to tinkle.  I also had to re-tie my shorts for the second time as they kept sliding down.  I started running again and realized that they still were loose.  So for a third time I re-tied them.  That's hard to do with frozen fingers.  We ran back and I started to feel blah.  Too many cupcakes and soda yesterday.  Glen probably got a half a mile ahead of me.  But I was glad to have gone the distance.
