been riding lots of trains--the same ones as you--how come you get to talk to everybody?--I'm just looking out my window, but I ain't you

Really feeling my retrogrades the last few days. Nostalgic to the point of idiocy and stuck in my head. It reminds me of at the beach with my mom. The beach was empty, so we walked backwards for as long as we could. Moving irresistibly forward, looking back all the while. Perfer et obdura, dolor hic tibi proderit olim.

...Or maybe I'm confusing emotion with physical feelings again. I'm a sore girl. Took up running with a younger-ass army boy. I'm hoping it pushes me to get fast again. My running club is great, and I'm running a ton, but getting kinda plateau-y on speed. I'd like to get back under 20 minute 5Ks.

I've got a domestic 24 hours ahead of me, which I'm looking forward to. Put in a couple plants. My house is clean, but it needs some final polishing. Run a bit. Cook some Southern comfort food. Drink a little red wine.
