Left shin splint still prevents running but her walking pace has increased.Mercury's parents visited for the second time and their interest/support is appreciated. Mercury also had Sarah, a local runner, walk with her all morning which was also appreciated.Mercury called it a day while there was still light so she could enjoy the sound of a stream at the best trail/road crossing in MD - which, by the way, is NOT I-70! - to lull her to a decent night's sleep.Jupiter is avoiding the center of the solar system during these hot days by restricting his orbit to either shady areas (tree-wise that is) or interiors with air-conditioning, which is NOT auction-bought 275,000 mile Pegasus.Onward to PA and Sheetz hot dogs!
