Five things I thought about during my morning run:

1. It feels like I’m running through mud. My legs don’t want to move.

2. “Pale shadow of a woman.”

3. I think I’m on the right track for this short story I’m working on. I feel better about it. It will be available only to my newsletter subscribers. Sometime in the future I may put them up on my blog. There will be a series of them. The goal is to sort of update the readers of my series: what goes on in Cumberland Creek between books?

4. Can’t forget that doctor appointment today.

5. So good to catch up with my friend Jen yesterday. Lurve her!
