Day 261

  • 2.52 miles
    • 7:58/mile pace
    • 0721
    • From/To home
  • Didn't make up the hardish run that was scheduled for yesterday and put off to today.   Trying to reclaim my health, not having much success yet, though the pink eye is better at least.   Speaking of pink eye, my Uncle Fred is a cattle rancher -- some 2000+ head of cattle in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas -- and he says that cows get pink eye often too, which is a concern because when they have it they don't eat as much or something and it spreads maybe even more rampantly among a herd of cows than it does among a heard of kids...not 100% sure I believe him about that, but I was fascinated to hear how he treats the pink eye affecting his cows eyes.   He has a spray can of anti-bacteria that he says is the strongest stuff around, legally anyway, and he just sprays it right into the infected eye and walks away.   The cows wreathe in pain, but he says the bacteria is instantly killed, the cows are no longer contagious and they heal within a day or so.   Honestly, I want some of that spray, today.
