This will be a short journal entry even though it was my “long run Sunday.” The two hours trotting through Seattle seemed to bring forth the idea of contrasts this evening. Here’s a few examples:
Contrast #1
-Passing by the three homeless (and my guess, hungry) folks living under the I-5 bridge

-while my stomach is digesting my lunch from Red Mill (verde burger, onion rings, fries, and chocolate shake – note to self: not a great pre-run meal)

Contrast #2
-The cute little duck on Green Lake diving for food at sunset
-The rat/mouse I saw just a little later scurrying from a bush to grab a half empty bag of chips
Contrast #3
-How far my body was telling my brain I should be running this evening
-How far my brain was telling my body I should be running this evening
And finally, the “not so much” contrast:
-My chaffed nipples (no pics required)
-My chaffed upper thigh area (yeah, no pics required on this one either)
