Running Wild

I flew back home this afternoon from a trip to Austin.  I worked the latter part of the afternoon and squeezed in a run from home just before dark.  I haven't run in 4 or 5 days, so this run was to get me back on the wagon.

I got up early this morning and ran the loop near my house that I have been using for the past few weeks.  I spent the rest of the morning and afternoon painting overhead to put waterproofing stain on the upper portion of my back deck before I went into work for a few hours.

Tonight after work I ran a loop on roads in Trinity after taking several days off running.  I've been spending too much time watching Tivoed CNBC in the evening and it's been cutting into my running.  It's a historic time and I think it's really interesting to watch it unfold.

This was my first run in almost 2 weeks.  I put my house on the market last week and have had a ton of stuff to do to get it ready, cleaning windows, yard work, cleaning floors and removing cobwebs.

This was my standard loop in Trinity, north on Greenway, then climbing the switchbacks to get up on top of Trinity mountain and taking Ridgetop road back south, then descending again on Ghost Hill Road.

Tonight I did the loop in Trinity that I have been running for the past few months. I had to squeeze this run in because a guy was coming by later to buy a bike that I had listed on Craigslist.  As I type this I'm watching a fascinating NOVA episode about fractal mathematics and how those forms show up in nature.   For example, they can detect tumors in tissue with more sensitivity by measuring the degree of randomness vs fractal behavior that is observed in bloodflow in the tissue.  Healthy tissue exhibits fractal behavior whereas tumor tissue exhibits random behavior.  Did anyone else see this?
