So you run down to the safety of the town.

Perfect day, cool, after the rains. But oh, how stiff, how weak, at least starting out. Lots of runners on the path this holiday morning. Middle age, students, the entire women's track team.

By the final mile I was warmed up, broke eight minutes. Pet Shop Boys, I thank you.
