Gumshoe
On Monday, I successfully avoided posting about my mid-run emergency with a back-to-nature twist. As much my inner 12-year-old wanted to, I figured I've written enough about poo, both here and on my kid blog. But then, I suppose I could write just one more...
If you've been running on the roads in Austin recently, you've probably been sticking to the roads too. And like me, you may have been wondering why. At first, I thought someone had dumped out a can of some sugary drink on the road. Then when I was sticking to the road a couple days later in the same pair of shoes, I started to think that maybe I stepped in something that was making the rubber on the bottom of my shoes disintegrate. Yes, it sounds strange, but it happened to a pair of my dress shoes a couple years ago. Then, I was told on Saturday that it was just tree sap.
Well, it ain't.
Everett kindly pointed me to that article this morning. Now, I am determined to work the phrase "energy-rich anal secretion" into some casual conversation within a week. It's good to have goals.
