I’m wet, tired, and not at my best.\u00a0 This therefore will be a short, short update before I grab some dinner and curl up under the covers.<\/p>\n
On a positive note, the medical crucible of running the Mississippi Blues Marathon has burned off SOME of the germs that plague me. I’m still sick but maybe oddly a little LESS sick than this morning. I know this may not be Hippocratic Oath approved (it does seem like running a marathon while sick WOULD do harm first, second, and 23rd). But really isn’t a fever just the body’s way of burning out the problem? So I used APPLIED science to make that happen, a medically induced and isotonic eccentric contraction oriented fever. So what I’m saying is that I would’ve made a kickass medieval barber.<\/p>\n
I didn’t take a lot of photos today at the Mississippi Blues Marathon.\u00a0 It was too wet and I didn’t have dry fingers or a dry iPhone to try and get the camera app open.\u00a0 Plus I was just struggling to keep my head above water.\u00a0 Literally?\u00a0 I mean, it was raining and there were puddles but it wasn’t flash flood warning level (at least not in Jackson… I hear in other parts of the state though…).<\/p>\n
I did however shoot this 2 minute video of the blues-riff National Anthem before the race.\u00a0 Sadly I think you hear the raindrops better than the guitar but, well, that’s the blues, man.\u00a0 That’s the blues.<\/p>\n
