It's not Memorial Day yet, but they have this display of flags up on the Boston Common, apparently one for every American killed in battle since the Revolutionary War. It's a lot of flags. Someone had put a pic up on FB, which reminded me that it's not just a long weekend. So, I thought it would be nice to run by and see it.
I got caught in some really bad traffic and was sitting there thinking that I should just park and run to the Common, since I was close enough, if I could find a space. Then I looked next to me and was like, "wait, that's a space right next to me." Of course I almost didn't believe it, because there were actually two spots there, and what were the odds? But really it was parking! It actually turned out to be kind of a good thing that I parked at a meter because I can't find my watch again, so I had to go by the meter time. I was gone from the car for about 26 min, but there were a lot of lights, and I did stop for about 30 sec at the flags, so I guessed I was running for about 22 min. Total run was about 2.09 miles, which is kind of short, but I was really hungry.
The flags were sad. Why can't we just stop killing each other?

- The Lazy Cretins
- I am not an athlete. I mean, really not an athlete. You know how by the time you are in second grade or so you know where you fall in the kickball team choosing order? I knew I was last round, even if a friend was captain. It's OK, I was good at the rest of school. But now it's time to push the boundaries and work on some fitness.
