This is perimeter run 51.

My legs were pretty tired...

I'm not sure what had caused the flashback to The Final Countdown. It might've been seeing a pair of A-10s landing, or having a CH-47 fly over me, none of which was in that movie, of course. I was in elementary school (3rd grade, to be exact) when that movie came out. I did, eventually, buy it on disk a few years ago - as well as the soundtrack, by John Scott, which is extremely hard to find.

I couldn't ask for much better weather than what I had today, though.

Today was a great example of jackrabbiting the start, and then realizing that I wasn't really going to run that fast.

Nonetheless - today was effort well-spent. That's good since there were some elements of work afterwards that entailed my basic desire to choke the shit out of people - randomly, of course.
