Much needed shakeout

May 25, 2019 (Night)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
After 3 days of not running, cramped bus rides, and sitting for hours of interviews with ex-fighters and concentration camp survivors, my legs were begging for me to take them for a spin. Had that stiff feeling like my legs were being unfolded from a being packed up in a box and shipped across the country and were finally being allowed to resume their natural shape. At the same time the sense of movement felt liberating even if I was stiff and sore. Wandered around the town by night, exploring the side streets, park, and one way lane along the river. Strange not to hear the call to prayer emanating from the mosque like in every other town I’ve stayed in. The Croat-nationalists who control the local government probably don’t allow it.
