Post Post Run Post... or First Run In June

So that's it? Obama will officially be the nominee? At work I didn't watch the news all night, then pretty much immediately went running. I thought I heard it's not official official until the Convention. It would essentially be official before then if there's only one person standing after someone drops out... and that's Hillary, right?

And this makes sense? After all, she had MORE PEOPLE vote for her. She was winning. I know this isn't technically a sport but when does the team with the lowest score win? Does it happen in football? Not that I can recall. In baseball? No. Basketball? Volleyball? Curling?? Cricket???

Okay, if that's the way it's gonna be in this country, we really need to stop WASTING tens of millions of dollars to have citizens cast their vote. That's just idiotic. The whole process was broken beforehand what with citizens of certain states (Florida and Michigan) not having any say... and other states (usually but not this year) quite possibly not mattering whatsoever because their primaries took place much later than everyone else.

I just don't get it.

56° and light rain when I left at 9:30pm

Good run! Very good run. I'm not exactly happy that for almost the entire first 3 days in June, running was non-existent... I slacked Big Time.Now I have to make up days. Swell, Greg Brady might say. Yes, just swell, I concur.

A little rainy all day today and after work, as well. That didn't stop me, though. Couldn't stop me... both indoor running tracks in Fairbanks have switched to Summer Hours -- finishing my shift at 9 p.m. is too late to run indoors. It'll be that way until September, I think. Swell. So outside in the rain. Okay, not that big of a deal, really no big whoop at all... I guess not even a little whoop. My running shoes are a little wet but hopefully they'll dry so I can run tomorrow night if I should want to... for a run in 48 hours they'll be fine, I'm sure.

Showered, resting...... yawning... looks like that'll complete the Swell trifecta. Best to get some sleep, I suppose.

Running tunes came from the album of the day...
	Paul Kelly Post 1985
From St. Kilda To Kings Cross Incident On South Dowling Look So Fine, Feel So Low White Train Luck Blues For Skip Adelaide Satisfy Your Woman You Can Put Your Shoes Under My Bed Standing On The Street Of Early Sorrows Little Decisions

I've heard a Paul Kelly song or two in this life but recently was the very first time hearing a full album. From Melbourne by way of Adelaide, Kelly blends folky acoustic rock and alternative and the result is some sort of R.E.M.-ish-Dylan-ish-Elvis Costello-ish concoction of Aussie musical goodness.
