Running in the rain

For some reason I couldn't get into the gym here at the Apartment complex yesterday, so I had to go running outside.  It was early in the morning so it wasn't too hot, but I checked the weather RADAR (and I looked up in the sky) and figured that it would be raining within 10 minutes.  Sure enough. . .7 minutes later it stated pouring down.  Fortunately I didn't bring my MP3 player, so the only thing that got wet was me.  It rained on and off for the next 45 minutes, but I managed to get a good 4.5 mile run in.  I think my shoes are still wet though.

Bus Thoughts

I've been trying to ride the bus to school lately and it is a learning experience all its own. One thing I've learned is that 99.9% of the people that ride the bus are so poor that they can't afford a car. The other thing I've learned is that people are really fucking lazy. I see people stand in one spot for 20-30 minutes so they can ride the bus (for $1.50) just to go two blocks away. Also, let's say that someone plans on getting off the bus at point B, but someone else gets off at point A about 75 meters before B. A is so close to B that you can actually read the route numbers at stop B from stop A. Anyway, instead of getting off at A and walking the rest of the way, they force us to endure an unnecessary stop because they are too damn lazy to walk a little farther.

Ok, sure, some people can't walk that much because of heart problems or whatever, but that doesn't apply to everyone I've seen do it.

Oh the joy of public transportation.
