The Running Thread

But you also should be aware that people are shitbags.

Pedestrians always have the right away

Sometimes I fantasize about getting hit

Sometimes I fantasize about getting hit

Run with your eyes closed for a few seconds.

[verb_to_trust]

I downloaded an app call Zombies, Run!. I guess you listen to it during runs and there is a narrative story that makes you running seem part of it. Might be dumb enough to entertain me on a late nighter.

"I'm a disgusting peice of shit and I resent that you are trying to better yourself, so I'm gonna buzz by you (and probably call you faggot) to somehow feel better about myself."

I run without corrected vision so this isn't that far fetched for me.

For sure.

I don't even like passing semis where there is a cliff on the left.

Distracted driving is a bitch for innocent people in vehicles, let alone those protected only by their own sweat and flab.

Another rmer left the Strava group ;-(

He only ran like 3 times a year.

He's probably going to get really fat now

You guys would probably be glad to meet my uncle. He and a team of other old-timers ran coast to coast one time in the 80s. He wins all kind of marathons, in his age group it's a blow-out.

He turned me onto Saucony although he swears by Brooks himself.

And that's all I have to say about that

Is your Uncle Forrest Gump?

No, but close!

[verb_to_trust]

Really been stuck in a rut lately. All I really choke out is 4 miles or so and I feel like my stride is still messed up due to my recovering shoulder dislocation. Brutal three day stretch of heat coming up too.

[run2death]

Flagstaff is insane. Everywhere you look people are running. On the roads and sidewalks in town. On little country roads outside of town. On every trail. It's beautiful.

[Peeps]

past two days have really sucked 85+ degrees and high humidity

[epilogue]

past two days have really sucked 85+ degrees and high humidity

yuck

The only good thing about my foot injury and having to take some time off is that I haven't been out trying to run in this heat/humidity.

Good on all y'all who are out there keeping at it.

[run2death]

Nice to have my normal lungs back after 5 days in Flagstaff.
