No mess to vacuum up

I didn't go for a run till dark, so I was destined for the treadmill, with things being too slick still. I kept my time on the treadmill brief, but cranked up the intensity. I eventually had one of the tready's on max and was hopping on and off between efforts. I had it moving so quickly I thought I'd burned the puppy up; but no, a breaker was blown by an erstwhile employee vacuuming on the same circuit as my plebian efforts. I was almost thrown off the thing when the change in speed went from max to zero in short order-- but I still think it was safer than the icy streets.

Have you had enough Prefontaine quotes? I didn't think so:

"Somebody may beat me, but they are going to have to bleed to do it."

"The best pace is a suicide pace, and today is a good day to die."
