Long run. Went pretty well. One big loop of Decatur.
I was disheartened to find the Farmers market restroom closed. I guess its not open on Sunday. No water. I filled it off of the Morgan County Jail sprinklers. That didn't work very well.
Got some blank stares from a couple ladies sitting on a porch at 6:45am on 6th Ave NW. I was like an alien to them.
Saw some colorful graffitti on the pedestrian bridge between Chadwell and Northmeade SW. Austin High must have a good art dept from the look of it. Its not as poetic as the grafitti on the new bike trail behind the Decatur Utilities building - a youthful philosophy there is "F*** fear, drink beer". Words to live by for someone apparently.
Got water from a guy washing his car at 7:45am- his car was egged the night before: " must be my lucky day" was his explanation. His water tasted like hose but it hit the spot.
Started to see signs of life around 8:15am as people were heading to early Church. After I got water from the Elmore's front spiquot, they passed me on their way to Sunday school on Central Parkway.
As I got home, it started to sprinkle. A big glass of chocolate milk waited for me on the back patio thanks to Liza. |
