Firsts

A few firsts for today, in order of occurrence:

• Running to and around both lakes and back with A, during which we averaged a spectacular* 8:30 pace over 9.43 miles!
• Noticing that Band-Aid now embosses their boxes with braille
  
• Watching Doubt at the Riverview (pretty good, very well-acted, and definitely thought- and conversation-provoking)
• Carrying half a dozen local organic eggs (safely) home from the co-op on my bike, three in each jacket pocket

Not a first: being so exhausted after a morning long run that I vaguely hurt all over and sort of want to cry, not from pain or emotion, but from tiredness.

I still have six finals to grade. Back to it.

*This is relative, of course, but for me that pace is definitely spectacular.
