This one from the Magnificent Seven has been another one of
my all-time favorite movie lines. I’m not even entirely sure why I like it so
much. It’s probably best not to over-analyze things. I know. With that in mind,
I should quit blogging right now.
But don’t worry, I won’t.
More times than I can count, I’ve run the three miles over
to the High School track, only to find it locked up tighter than (I was happy
to see a website completely devoted to ‘tighter than’ sayings) an otter's
pocket. But recently I’ve found a way to get underneath the fence, but the bad
part about that is getting dirty or muddy in the process.
Yesterday I did the crawl, ran eight of my fourteen miles
there, and then as it was getting light, discovered an open gate in a remote
part of the track area. I would be able to get out without slithering! As I
exited, I closed said gate, hoping anyone else coming by would think that it
wouldn’t need to be locked.
It worked! It was open, so today I ran sixteen of my miles
there. Yes, that’s a lot. Along with a smattering of a couple more with the
grandkids and even two on the mill, I wound up with over twenty-five total. Add
that to the weekly total of seventy for last week.
Yes, I’m taking this thing (the Fall 50) seriously. Next
week starts the big push.
