I did a long run this morning, the same one I did Jan 6. Unlike the last one, this day was cold but so much more pleasant. In fact I wore sunglasses for it. It was going terrifically, and I was thinking how much better I felt today compared to the last time I did this run, when with about 3k to go, my legs got very tired. They were feeling particularly fatigued in the hip flexor areas. This last 3k I was going pretty slow. If I had stopped at the 23K point, I think I would be talking about the fantastic run I had. As it stands, I'm feeling my legs today.
Here's something of a sidebar to my run:
As I crested Drake St. in Cranberry, there's a tower of, oh, about sixty feet, with what appears to be a giant loud haler on top. I'm wondering if any local people can chime in in the comments area and let me know if this is still used; and if so, what for? I've been curious for some time, and I thought I'd see if the collective wisdom of the internet could help.

Air raid siren. During WWII they were used in urban centres to warn people to run for cover. But in small towns like Powell River, my guess is that they were introduced in the paranoia or the Cold War. If they drop the Big One, no warning will be sufficient.
Good run.
typo - "paranoia of the Cold War"
Thanks for the info. Vigilance is the price of freedom. An N-bomb could ruin your breakfast. ; )
It was especially made for Lorne, or as you call him 'coach', so he can ensure that you are doing everything that you saw you are. Do you have a slippery past of not telling the whole truth at times Larry?

After reading your comment several times, I think I've got your meaning?
