Thinking out loud

ORN: Today, I had one of those days where all I can say is "at least I ran." I was tired, my legs were heavy-feeling, and I had little energy. It might have been the Monty Python Holy Grail Ale last night, or it might just be fatigue. Either way, I am glad that's over. That's seven miles I'll never have to do again [1:09'44"].

Yesterday, I took a Mental Health Day; the family and I went to Mammoth Cave and did the Historic Tour. We had a good time, but naturally, my sick mind kept drifting back to running as I hiked 300 feet below the surface. What if there was a 5K race in the cave? Surely there are three continuous miles of reasonably safe trail somewhere down there. Oooh! Oooh! And turn out the lights! Everybody in headlamps. Or what about a Marathon? It'd never happen in a million years, if only for liability reasons, but it was fun to think about during the boring parts of the tour.
