Out slow with the chickens. Learned later that while I was out running, Bubba died. It is not fair for a wonderful little boy to die at age 5 while human garbage continues to live and run for President (political commentary ended).

Easy 6 for Bubba, since he can't run for himself any more. You are missed my friend. Requiescat in pace.

Fought the humidity and lost at Burns Park this morning. Couldn't get air, really. Walked twice. Still managed 6th in my real age group and 3rd in my GP age group, so it'll be nice points. But I'm pretty disappointed. First mile was like 7:15 but that's about when the air quit flowing.
