10 miles 5 schools 12 years in 90 minutes

I ran by 5 of the schools I went to as a kid today. Didn't run by my college as that would have added another 120 miles to my run. I left at 5:15AM. It was already 85 degrees and the dewpoint had to be in the mid-90's. My shirt got heavy with sweat by mile 2. In a sense, I ran from 1975 to 1987 in 90 minutes. Fairly symbolic of how quickly my life seems to be moving right now . . .my kids lives seem to be moving even quicker than that. Ten miles in 90 something degree heat won't buckle me . . .but thinking about how fast my kids are growing up - - -that hurts.
