Jogging

I went for my last jogging session in West Orange a few days ago. It hurt a bit, but I just had to do it, saying goodbye to all the houses and streets that I ran for so many years.
8 years, averaging 250 days per year, averaging 3-4 miles per day, makes a total of about 7,000 miles of running. I guess I could run to Napa and back (a few times over); it would just take me a couple of years.
I had the idea of taking one of the greys with me a few times, but the concept never materialized: I told myself that they would not be able to run that long, but maybe I was afraid of being outrun by them.
I have forgotten most of my runs already, but the memories of having Geert jog on my side many years ago and running with Dirk just a few weeks ago will always stay with me...
