Friday 5miler with a waddle

Finally made it to Friday! I didn’t think it was going to come. This week seemed extra long because because in my office are getting sick and my monthly girlfriend is about to visit. My body feels the extra… Extra bloating, tiredness, craziness, hunger, achy. You name it. Taking Thursday off to rest was helpful which made running 5 miles today good. Since I have a state wide meeting later today, I was able to travel for a.m. and explore downtown Boston, Public Garden, and the Commons.

It’s still super dark out. Being downtown, there were runners out and about. No one had on a headlight or anykind of reflective gear. I was the only one. What is that?- Fuel for Thought.

Yes, the city lit but there are dark spots. Running through the Park I saw several homeless men( maybe women, I couldn’t see), sleeping underneath the park bridges and in hidden spaces. Away from prying eyes. I’m sure they wanted safety and peace as they slept outside.

I wonder what will happen when it gets cold. What will they do? As my privilege self runs in the cold. It makes you think.
