Why I Hate Running, Part 1
Summer In Tennessee.
It felt like nearly the longest day of the year or something, and the temperature proclaimed it. It hit 95 by lunchtime.
We had been blessed this year with the mildest spring since I emigrated here in 1999. Temperatures were moderate and sometimes cool all the way to June 6 or so; the last cool day in 2005 was exactly a month earlier if I remember right. Today there was no wind and a haze hung in the air, thick enough to breathe. It wasn't 75 yards before I was covered in sweat that couldn't evaporate and I felt like an Alaskan goose after an oil spill.
Still, I managed to trudge along for my four and a half miles without getting propositioned once! Apparently the beautiful park I run in has an, err, reputation as one of the seedier sides of town. To be honest, I've never had anything weird happen there or even seen anything weird, but I've heard this type of incident is pretty common. Doh!
