My legs were a bit heavy this morning, but the soreness was pretty much gone. I was expecting clouds and a little breeze, but the skies were clear with no wind to speak of (temp 35, RH 60). A gibbous moon was a finger's breadth above the western horizon.
While I was running in the dark behind the high school and as I was thinking of how my legs felt like thick wooden blocks, I was reminded of a show that I recently watched about neutrinos. It said that trillions of them pass through your body every second and most pass right through the earth without hitting anything. Not only because they're so small, but also because there is so much empty space between the atoms and subatomic particles that make up our bodies and the earth we walk (or run) on. Somehow, my legs felt lighter as I thought that. Mostly empty space that appears dense just because the information carrying photons are too big to pass through. Now I just need to figure out why I was so slow this morning :)
