The Steph Truman Show

Today's Workout
 - 2 mile run

Today's run went surprisingly well. We ran to the bar up the street, which turns out it makes for the perfect milestone. The bar was packed, Jake thought it was just Satur-Day-Drinking in Wisconsin but I assumed there was a Badger game happening at the moment. We walked a bit after turning around, then once more at about the final half mile. Look at that endurance starting to show.

The only other thing on my to-do list today was tutor a girl who reached out to me on the internet. I have a site offering tutoring in most math and science options, today I would be working on cardiac physiology. My student sent a worksheet with questions late the night before, so I spent most of the morning cramming the topics she was struggling with.

One of these topics was a diagram, called the Wigger's Diagram, that combined the volume, pressure, and electrical impulses, and sounds of the heart all along the same time axis. I watched a few YouTube videos in order to help remember this dusty knowledge. My favorite vid was taped by a a bro wearing a backward's cap. In the middle he described the cardiac cycle like the Haunted Mansion at Disney World. People come in, the doors close, the walls sneak in, and the people burst out the exit excitedly (or blood comes in the heart, the muscles contract, blood ejects through to the rest of the body.)

The thing about this that struck me as funny was that I just thought about the Haunted Mansion yesterday, at the Forevertron. This is just another coincidence, in a long list, that makes me think my life might be the Truman Show. I mean I can't blame people for wanting to watch 24/7 Steph Maule. I'm smart, funny, a little eccentric, and hopefully a bit unpredictable. I'd watch that. The sad thing is that the writers of my show aren't very clever. It's like they don't know what to do, but then I will mention a thing that they will latch onto and work into the next couple days worth of material. Come on guys, get creative!

Ok, so really, I don't believe it that much. It is more of a fun way of coping with synchronicity or Baader-Meinhof illusions. On that note, since it feels like I just ran today, I guess I'll make plans to do so tomorrow as well. Sunday's are the long runs, so Jake and I have 4 miles in the morning before football starts.
