Days getting shorter

[Today’s run: about 2.5 miles (to the bakery and back)]

The van refused to start at the end of the work day yesterday. I called AAA and they lined up a tow truck. And I sat for an hour or so with intermittent attempts. Then, it did start. I called AAA and canceled the tow.

Stopping by home first, we had our own two-car parade to the repair shop and dropped it off. I’m hoping it will be reliably faulty this time and give them some clues about what needs to be fixed.

Then we went to eat and shop for groceries. By the time we arrived home it was well after dark so I missed my Monday evening run.

This morning I got up in good order and got out the door before 5:30 AM. I had a nice run down S. Grandview to the bakery. I arrived home again after 27 minutes which brought into question my assumption that the route was 3 miles.

I did not take the dog because I wasn’t sure what the lighting situation would be. But I discovered they have center-island street lights all the way down that street. It will come in handy when we’re in the winter and the sun goes down at 4 PM.
