I walked two laps of the Poplar Street Loop this morning to complete three miles in 49:48. I finished the one-mile laps in 17:01 and 16:56. It was 31°F when I started. It is bright blue out. Tomorrow should present nearly perfect weather for the Sweet Baby Jesus Memorial 4.96K Race to Hell and Back.
Paragraph(s) of the day from A Different Closet
Despite the danger, an incongruous and perhaps perilous calm commanded Keith’s senses. He knew he needed up and turned to look for leverage. He reached for a locker handle and stood in time to see Carmichael lunge again, face down, and in that instant flashed back to a punch he had thrown as a child, boxing with his father in their backyard. As then, Keith cocked his right arm and released an uppercut directly to the mouth of the man before him. He heard and felt a crack and watched Carmichael drop directly to the floor. Keith was suddenly aware of fright and pain and an unfamiliar sense of pleasure, all of which folded into an emotion that dissolved the moment it formed. Everyone around him looked shocked.
