Day 548 – US – Wisconsin [Madison to Evansville]

04/10/21

38.5km

  From Madison (Wisconsin) to Evansville (Wisconsin)

North America

A lonely day on the road, thanks to the outage of FB, Msgr, Insta and Whatsapp

Leaving Madison early morning

My running hours are always interspersed with messages and news, which I either get on alerts (messages on Messenger and Whatsapp) or newsfeed (FB, Insta). Today though, the internet broke down! For me, it meant all my breaks along the way *(which are normally a “socialising time” for me) turned very lonely. I turned to reading the news instead, all of which relayed the news of “the day the internet broke down”!

Passing by the Gilbert House, Oregon WI

Though it did… I quickly forgot about it and turned my attention back to nature. I spotted a woodpecker going up and down a tree making a phenomenal racket. Two kingfishers, flashing past my eyes in a splatter of bright blue colours. And the squirrels, which have been enjoying the nuts season for the past few weeks and keep running all around the place from tree to tree.

I enjoyed once again the endless cycling paths network of Madison, and the run was very pleasant, sheltered and safe. Today was again very humid. I noticed two issues physically, which is quite rare. One is chafing – from all the sweating probably. I have a tube of petroleum jelly which I carry in my bag and I will have to start using it. The other one is a clicking in my left hip. There is no pain associated with it, simply a tension. But so far, I am under the impression it is related to the abnormally high humidity. I will keep monitoring it on a daily basis to ensure it doesn’t develop into something else.
