This running thing is starting to get addictive. I went to the track this morning, when it was pretty empty and it wasn’t supposed to be so hot.

After my most recent 24 hour EEG was finished earlier this week, I had a lot of energy. I hadn’t been able to do much since I left the doctor’s office the day before because of fear of sweating.
