I went running this morning. In an air-conditioned gym. I was seeking somewhere flat to appease the Achilles gods and somewhere where I could test out my new sneakers and still return them if they were not good. It was so easy to run (average 9 min/miles). I started out slower than that and ended quicker but hit 4 miles at exactly 36 minutes. Because of the lack of hills and cool temps it felt like cheating to run in those conditions. My Achilles feels fine today. I think it was the shoes.
Running indoors also gave me the chance to watch the news while I ran and I watched the London happenings unfold. Then, after showering and changing, I got on the bus for work. DC has upped its security on public transportation but everything was still running.
I don’t have the words to describe how horrified I was. I kept thinking back to how horrible 9/11 was for Americans (and others) and trying to understand what the London/European community was feeling. I was also thinking about what it all means for the global community. It’s a lot to take in and I was glad to be running within sight and sound of news feeds this morning.

I share your horror. I couldn't bring myself to run until 8:30 tonight. I think a lot of people are worried about our global community.
