It was about 85F when I started this workout, but being next to the water and running mainly in the shade ameliorated the heat a good bit and it didn't bother me. Seward Park can be some good people watching; I particularly enjoyed the guy who rolled by on a bike with an 90s-era boombox blasting that tragic hero of Canadian culture, young Mr. Bieber. "baby you should go and love yourself"
Side note: I was summonsed starting yesterday (side side note: apparently "summonsed" is a real word and not just a weird way of spelling summoned) to fulfill my civic duty at King County Superior Court, but sadly they ended up not needing my services and I didn't even get to go to the courtroom. This was the second time I've been called but not gotten on a jury; the first time (as a 19yo collegian on summer break) I successfully prevailed on the judge to let me go
back to school instead. I would like to serve because I've always thought it would be an interesting experience, but I guess I'll have to wait another decade now.
Also came across this gem on the Court website:
...Were you summonsed by a court in Brooklyn? Brooklyn is in Kings County, New York. Seattle is in King County, Washington. Sometimes this creates confusion. If you were summonsed to a court in Brooklyn, please follow this link...
