I Must Run Everywhere
I'm happy to introduce a new/old runner who is a prolific writer with a unique sense
of humor. Jim Johnson offered to republish a few of his articles from his blog, "I must Run Everywhere."
https://imustruneverywhere.com/
I previously wrote about Hans Harzl, an Austrian runner who joined a bunch of aliens for a run. Since writing about this incident, they appear to be emboldened.
They apparently want more interactions with humans, especially in Eastern Washington where I live. It seems they like the camaraderie of running with us, even though 9 out of 10 people believe aliens are scary.
I started doing patrols in and around my hometown, focusing on nearby wheat-growing areas because I know how aliens like to do the crop-circle thing.
I came across a site where the wheat was laid down in an obvious attempt at crop circle-making. It was clearly the work of aliens, but this group is far from having the full skill set.
I noticed blatant soil disturbance. The average alien knows how to cover their tracks, so these guys are obviously just starting out. I collected a soil sample and tested it in my basement laboratory. Voila! Elements not found on earth. They’re here, but being mistake-prone, maybe they’re not so scary after all.
Propellant residue. Elements not of earth. Bottle caps from a brewery unknown on Earth. It all adds up to aliens.
So if a spaceship lands near you and a gaggle of aliens pour out to join you for a run, maybe showing them a cool running route will really impress them.
I fear that, secretly, you’ve gone to the “dark side”
Not so, Dave. I am not a dark sider. If you continue to say this though, you’ll have visitors in the middle of the night.
