Anything that happens to anyone could happen to me

Happy Spring everyone! It certainly feels that way here in Buffalo. Ran in shorts and a short sleeve shirt and everything. Still in a mask and still avoiding crowds.

Went for a 3.44 mile run today - shorter slower miles following a good long mile day yesterday.

Still listening to my latest obsessive sci-fi reading - Persepolis Rising, which is Book 7 of the Expanse series.

Here’s a thought-worthy quote from what I listened to today:

“…I am a human being. Anything that happens to human beings could happen to me. One time and another in the years since, she’d taken comfort from that. Or warning. People fall in love, so maybe I will too. People get jobs, so maybe I will too. And people get sick. People have accidents…And so that could happen to me too.” [Page 431]

We are all in this together, we are all connected. There really is no us and them. What happens to any of us could happen to all of us. Sometimes a comfort, sometimes a reminder of just how much is riding on all of us.

Meanwhile, here are some geekier running details.

I use iSmoothRun for tracking on an iPhone and linked to an Apple Watch. iSmoothrun allows me to customize a workout better than most apps I have used.

Fuller stats found at Smashrun here.

Also here I am at Strava here.

I follow and connect via both platforms, but more on Strava.

Some details for the run:

Running Time: 33:26
Total Distance: 3.44 miles
Avg. page: 9:43/mile
