This one should probably really be titled The Humpback Sperm Run because the sperm appears to have a hump near its tail. I have to give credit to my friend Chuck Settles for the title, because he ran with me on this one and noticed the shape of the route we took. It was by no means a difficult run, but Chuck and I agreed we thought we were running faster than we actually were. I guess we just run what we deem to be slow, but it will be interesting to see if the pace picks up once I do a longer run.
If there was a highlight to this run, or lowlight for that matter, it was probably when I ran into a fishing rod that belonged to a guy who was fishing in the pond we ran around to form the head of the sperm. I said sorry but he looked pretty pissed off. Chuck mentioned after the run that he felt most people at the pond were pissed off to see us running and he said he didn't particularly like that portion. Several loud duck noises were heard throughout this one, and Chuck seemed pretty relieved each time.
Number 5 tomorrow.
I also found the organization I am applying to join: USRSA. The record for consecutive days running is held by the group's honorary chairman, Mark Covert. Over 14,000 days and counting! Unreal.
