The Earth is Round

Was running short on time, so did a 2 mile run instead of 4. Felt incredible! It was warm out today, like around 27. The air was not cold enough to hurt my lungs.

While I was running I started to think about the curvature of the Earth. Then I started to think how long I would have to run in order for me to know that the world was round, to actually be able to tell that I was running on a big ball.

And then, for the briefest of moments, I thought I could feel the curve beneath my feet...

those are some intriguing thoughts.

do you always think of abstract things whilst running?
