Faith had her mail route today, and today she was taking her first shot at using the rooftops to do it. She figured the trick was to take the day's supply of mail in small chunks, so she set out for the day with her mail bag only about a quarter full. She'd come back for the rest later, but she didn't want to be too weighed down when she started her run.
Then she strapped her bag to her back and set off on her route, hurtling from rooftop to rooftop and grinning to herself when her runner vision helped her pinpoint a ladder or a handy bit of scaffolding she could use to make her journey quicker.
Before long, the extra weight on her back stopped bothering her at all, and she barely remembered she was carrying it until she reached someplace where she had to stop and get down to street level to make a delivery.
The business owners for whom she'd drop off deliveries today would find Faith considerably more upbeat and winded than she had been the past two Wednesdays. She was happy about that.
