Underground
Apr. 10th, 2016 07:00 pmVienna City Marathon was today! I had a stitch after five minutes, was hungry after ten, and had to walk several times. I usually go running in the afternoon, after lunch, and I knew there was a reason why but I didn't think the difference would be so big. Lesson learned, I guess. But I'm still glad I suggested we do the family relay because I had fun preparing for it. Maybe I'll even keep running after this, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have happened if not for the event.
I started watching "Underground", a show about the Underground Railroad, a network to help escaped slaves in the 19th century US. It's really good so far, I like it a lot: the characters are great and the plot twists are very interesting. I don't know details about US history but it seems to do a good job at portraying that era. These things actually happened, and not that long ago. The portrayals of the difficult decisions people have to make are brutal. It's framed in part as a heist show and I like that aspect, and I have a vague sense of that they're probably doing specific things to make the storytelling work as well as it does but I can't articulate details.
