Today's planned joggle: 6 miles (home from work)
My legs and shoulders are both feeling pulverized today after yesterday's 24-mile joggling jaunt. Today's joggle will be a very easy recovery run.
Unfortunately, my backpack will be heavier than usual because I bought a few clothes at lunchtime that I need to cart home, and I also need to take home my book – JPod by Douglas Coupland – so I can read it on the subway tomorrow. So far, JPod is good, but even the paperback version is a little above the weight limit for a joggler's backpack.
Since I began running home from work, I've chosen both my wardrobe and reading materials based on weight. Heavy jackets and pants are out, as are thick-soled shoes. Vikram Seth, Wally Lamb and Tolstoy will never find their way into my knapsack.
I started up a discussion on Running Mania about runners who commute on two legs, so I know I'm not alone here.

I thought I would be your first commenter but I notice that isn't the case.
I am a bit jealous though that you can run to work. I live 22 miles via freeway so that would be a little out of my league every day.
Thanks for the shout out at my blog and I've Bloglined you so I can keep up with your writing.
Oh, and it is a little distressing that you kick my ass handedly in marathon times when you are juggling and I'm just processing air.
I often have more trouble processing the air in Toronto these days than I do juggling.
Hmm, yes, a 44-mile round trip in speeding traffic sounds like a little much.

Mine's a 10 mile run (16K) run. And I joggle it every so often but there are some pretty sketchy neighborhoods on the way so I don't do it too much.
