I often have deep and random thoughts while I’m running. Here are fifteen of them from my time in Key West.

1. Where am I?

2. What a neat cemetery.

3. Has anyone ever died from excess humidity?

4. I hope I don’t trip on that coconut on the side of the road.

5. Why is there a straw in that coconut on the side of the road?

6. Is that street sweeper following me?

7. Look out chicken!

8. I wonder if there is a Chick-fil-a on this island?

9. Those donuts smell good.

10. This side street smells bad.

11. I’m lost and in the ghetto.

12. I hate sidewalks. Asphalt is better.

13. I hope that scooter doesn’t hit me.

14. I cant wait to go swimming.

15. I’m swimming in sweat.
