ran 2.1 miles
Today completes week thirteen. Nearly three months in and I am grateful to say my biggest problem is a chronic, minor soreness in my left calf muscle that is reluctant to go away. I can put ice on that every few days and that small pain takes nothing away from the larger picture I am after. Running and blogging against Barack Obama gives me a sense of peace and allows me to sleep better at night because, ultimately, a leader like Obama smothers and suppresses my interpretation of what America is meant to be.
When you view this country as a limitless ideal in which anything can be done, it is absolutely frustrating to see radical liberal ideas implemented, as they appear in the light. Where I feel the great chasm between conservative and liberal ideas reaches its greatest depth is in the voting base at large of each side. And, unfortunately, this separation and difference of political beliefs could be a lengthy civil war of ideas, which will block any real progress for a nation divided. The greater number of American voters who do not cower away from hard work and take pride in saving or spending the money they worked hard to earn as they see fit I would call conservatives. And those who see no merit in what so many of these others hold to be self-evident as the American way I would call liberals. It is no prejudice to state that, statistically, the immense middle class and small business structure working hard across the American landscape is a crucial gear in America’s economy and culture and that they do not tend to vote for liberal ideas. You may interpret for yourself what that says about the immense amount of others that do vote for such ideas.
I have run 245.0 miles, averaging 2.69 miles per day.
1,835.0 miles to go.
