** Caution- Gross reference to bodily functions at the end of this post! Nice morning run over to Delano Park. Beautiful day, nice and cool. Listened to podcasts for 2 hrs (Planet Money and Stuff you should know). Learned more than a lot about lobotomies on one of them. They are still done in England but banned in U.S. in the 1960's. The mental health profession has come along way in 40-50 years. There was also a piece on spontaneous human combustion- I'm a skeptic on that one. The last 90 minutes I listened to music and my pace picked up. Felt really good. Finished in 3:45 with negative split second half. Its time to retire this pair of shoes. 300 miles and I can feel the lack of cushion. The city has routed the trail to the north and east around the round pavilion near the playground. This added some mileage and brought the loop to around 0.98-0.99 miles by the garmin. We may be able to figure out some creative way to eliminate the out-and-back on the 12 Hour run somehow. * * * * Early my run, I visited the restroom at Delano and then for the next 2 hours had to contemplate the motivation between why someone would defecate in the urinal and also smear feces on the wall. Some primitive primate form of self-expression? Anarchist rebellion? I've heard of this happening before in parks and even in department stores and I just don't understand. Lobotomy candidate? |
