Ahhhh... The Stink of it All....

Peeeeeeee - Uuuuuuu !!! Olfactory Overload.

Does the Sanitation Department work on a holiday? How about the weekends? Do they even
work at all?

I did another 7+ miles today (another PR for me - 38 miles in 4 days). It was supposed to be an easy run. Supposed to be.

But the nostrils complained.

Oh, Sanitation Department of New York....Where? Are? You?

There was garbage everywhere!

......................I.......................................MEAN....................... EVERYWHERE!!!!

And it stank. To high heaven. Smells of rotten food....Rotten things...The foulest funk of forty thousand years as I believe Vincent Price was quoted on the Michael Jackson's Thriller. I had to hold my breath much of the route. It's a good thing I don't have much in the way of brains, or there could have been some serious damage here!! In short, this felt like the longest "anaerobic" workout I ever did, I tell ya!

Looks like they didn't work the entire Labor Day weekend. Please get back to work....I beg of you... Not another foul run again, please! I almost felt like I was running through the English Kills again off of Metropolitan. Thank you, Mayor Bloomberg....

Although, I am exhausted, my legs are still in great shape. I am pushing my body, but I am careful to wait for it to push back. If and when (surely I mean when) it does, I will cease for a bit.
Anyway, the garbage outside even smelled worse than this....

(my dirty workout clothes of a week old)!!!! Ain't I a ...... stinker?
