Because this is belated, this post is simple.
With it being the day after the meet or speed workout, it was an AE day. Everybody went west (right) on Ladue for a certain amount of time. On the way out, heading towards 141 we had a big pack and it was fun.
What I really want to talk about in this post is a common theme of running. This theme is newness in sameness. It’s the idea even in doing the same thing there is always something new. For example, on the today’s run, Boyle and I ran somewhere neither of us had ever ran before. When we got to Ladue and 141, we had ten more minutes to run. We weighed our options and decided to go left. The large shoulder was very inviting. Getting to go somewhere different was great. Ran by St. Luke’s Hospital and made it just far enough to see Highway 40. A second example of this newness in sameness, this one even more common than running in a new spot, came up on the way back. We’ve ran this same route several times before, but we saw something crazy that we had never noticed. This seems to happen every run; there is always something new. This time it was a pond in someone’s front yard. It took up the whole yard and had a fountain and everything. Newness in sameness. Just some thoughts.
Quote of the Day: “Hey! Look at that! It’s a Lake!”- Abernathy to Boyle on Ladue as I noticed someone’s front yard lake for the first time.
