Comments: Wood smoke and petrichor; running between rainfalls this evening. Splash! I hit a puddle about one-half mile in, partially soaking my right foot. Ran slowly tonight to rest my muscles a bit for this weekend. At the beginning of my run, my brain seemed active; I recited vocabulary words I have been studying for my GRE test. By the half-way point, my brain has quieted down a bit; it is a bit like running in a trance. I suppose, physiologically, my body re-routes blood from my brain to my muscles, while it kicks out endorphins at the same time. At the north end of Gibbons Park, I passed someone waiting; always sort of awkward, since I wear mostly black and must appear to come out of nowhere. At the south end of the Park, a homeowner continues his work on a raised-truck. One or two other people had their garage doors open as I passed, working quietly. The run back west on Engle home was uneventful; noting the various street names. Actually, come to think of it, I did realize one thing--I am finally understanding the route of the Regional Transit 82 bus. When I attended CSUS in the fall of 2009, I took the 82 bus to the corner of Watt and Whitney. Apparently, it continues east on Whitney, then swings north to Engle, then west on Engle to Eastern, then north on Eastern to Edison, then east on Edison to Pasadena to Cypress, and then on to American River College. It confused me a bit, because I run east on Edison, and I would see the 82 bus, then I run west on Engle, and I would see...the 82 bus. I think I have it all figured out, now. All was quiet at Mira Loma as I finished. Came home and took a long, hot shower. My lower, left back felt a bit of discomfort this evening, which probably indicates I need more rest. Running purely on asphalt and concrete must also take its toll. It saves so much time from driving, however; it really breaks down one of the biggest barriers to running--time involved. This weekend, eight miles, one mile longer than last weekend. Slowly but surely increasing my mileage. It feels satisfying to color in my square each day I walk or run. Noticing my appetite has increased during the workday.
