Yesterday I went to the track at the local community center to run, for the first time. I liked it - all the different types running or walking, the soft track, and the snatches of conversation as I ran past:

"...not my place to say anything, but that boy really is obese...."
"...realize I should have thinned. I saw Jack out there thinning and I though, I should do that, but I didn't. Now my wild onions are all crowded..."
"...get it on the toasted bread, the thin bread - with peppercinis...."
"...says the level of lack of education in the doctorate program is really staggering..."

I need to figure out pacing, though. On the treadmill it's easy, but elsewhere I have a hard time figuring out how fast to go. Yesterday I started off too fast and soon was breathless and coughing. I slowed down, but my asthma really kicked up till I got in the car and used my inhaler. Also I ran a bit more than two miles and the time was way off (shorter) than I would have expected. I'm going to go back today, though.
