walked down to east river park a couple of times this week and plunk my lazy ass down by the track near 6th st. i dont have enough in me to exercise but i can manage to watch others sweat and strain. and i can still muster up the energy to be annoyed by something. each time ive been there one person on the track has decided to run against traffic much to my consternation. why when everyone is running counterclockwise must someone go against the grain? one wonders why everyone is running counterclockwise but i think that is the norm. maybe it has to do with handedness.
