Super excited for the MUCH larger than average voter turnout at my polling place, but I guess they weren't prepared for such a crowd because it took a little over TWO HOURS of standing in line to get in and cast a ballot!
After I got over being cranky about standing there, I became quite grateful that I've started running - I may have been uncomfortable, but my legs are in very good shape and I have no injuries or joint problems that would make standing around for hours genuinely painful, unlike some unlucky people I saw in line with me.
Only three people, including myself, showed up to run on Thursday, and the other two were a good bit older than me and wanted to walk instead. But one of them brought her dog - really still just a big puppy, positively bounding with energy - and I ran sprints with the dog up and down the route, keeping pace with the walkers. Was actually a fun variation in my workout!
Then Saturday we had a big turnout for our group run, great to see everybody! We did the ~6mi. Cotton Row loop, and then extended it for a total ~8mi. run. However, I should have listened to my body and stopped after 6 miles to massage out some tightness going on in my thigh, because after that last little 2 miles I had managed to properly Pulled my left Quad. - OUCH! Feels better today and I'm going to run on it this week, but it took several days of working the muscle with all my massage tricks to un-do the mess I made of it.
