Urban Machine

Hello everyone,

You know yesterday when I was on my afternoon run, the mind was wandering (as usual).

I started to think about a weird running phase I went through many years ago, I actually started to laugh to myself, as I ran through suburban neighbor hoods.

In this phase, I was convinced that we all were (runners) is we, Part of this hugh urban machine, you know conformist!

I wanted no part of the dolfin short shorts, and the nike LDV 2000 waffle trainers. (do you remember the 70's and early 80's now) !

So I took to running in burmuda shorts, "the longer the better" and ankle high work boots!

OMG what a dork ! No more running in town, or on a predestined trail. Thats right, I took to the country. I would stand at a corner of a big "corn or Wheat feild" and take off. No clock, No mile count. Just me and my crazy self, running through fields, and farms. Nothing got in my way.

Looking back on that time, I think I was probably in the best shape of my life!

Well guess what, I think i have hit the mid life !@#@@ thing. My new idea is to run in my "CROCKS" wow are they the most comfortable things in the world, or what.

Just another thought for the day, I just thought maybe someone could relate. Or at least just sit there and go Oh my god is this guy just plain crazy or what!

Thanks, Doug
