Oh, must I mention that the 6th milestone has been reached? Perhaps that will do….well I could add the extreme heat and the fact that volcanoes seemed like island resorts on that day? Just a passing thought…..
I liked my little nap at the end of all of it. It was a good nap. It was also accompanied by a strange dream where I had a killer whale in my house and I stuck a needle like object through the back of its eye. Of course, following that unfortunate course of action I made it up by trying to find a means to keep it alive…one of them also involved using a garden hose to water the whale.
It was probably the rain or simply the walk home or the gentle patter gleams on tar roads. Anyway, I decided that I should start a diary about the marathon.
I started today on a sleepy note. I worry that each day may start this way. I was up for a five mile run. The weather looked rather gloomy. It looked like a tired earth that was waking up and rubbing its eyes. I brushed my teeth until I heard it squeaking and ate my old ye’ faithful granola bar. I was all set to run but I had just woken up too early! So I just patted myself away to doze off for a couple of minutes. As the entropy of time might have it, the minutes drifted away in excess of what I should have slept. I rushed to destination Alma mater thinking that I would perhaps be the only one running. It looks like others thought the same way too. Stretch, stretch, pant pant. It seems to be the only words ringing in my mind while I run. So aweseome foursome decided to break the five mile barrier today. If running is fun, I think today was a great example of that. I’m rather disappointed that I didn’t pick up the one cent coin on Florida and Fourth. But that’s alright. I’m sure there are others that are waiting for me at vending machines and parking lots.
