For the past nine-plus years, I've enjoyed a little quirk in the local infrastructure. North of the school, church, and new neighborhood that's gone in since we arrived here, one of the utility poles had a grounding wire that ran diagonal into an anchor in the sidewalk. It was kind of funny since most of the other poles ran grounds to the opposite side, but not this one. The cable ran diagonal to about three feet from the edge, giving me enough space to run under it and remain on the sidewalk. It was kind of a ritual until today. On Thursday I ran by a crew replacing that particular pole, and this morning discovered the grounding wire was gone. It's not a serious loss, just a little change of something that seemed out of place and a little bit of a tradition. Anyway, I ran 6 miles today and it went pretty well. I walked at the four and five-mile markers, mainly to lower the heart rate. Other than that, it was a beautiful morning and a nice day for a run.
