I added one of the Nara trail "boardwalk" sections to my run today for something different. It's bouncy, especially for this chunk. Might not be up to code.
One of the bridges was especially wobbly, and I thought briefly about putting Calvin's dad's bridge load rating theory into practice.
Next time I'll bring a sign just in case.
Other than that, it took an exceptionally long time to "zen out" today. This is where I feel like I'm running on all cylinders, and I stop thinking about anything at all and just motor along. Today it happened at about 4.5 miles. When the lady in my watch announced the end of the fifth mile, it scared the crap out of me.
