Saturday morning I decided to do the loop I'd discovered a couple of weeks ago -- 11.7 miles of windy, fairly shady road with rolling hills. The best part is that, like most of my routes, it starts at my doorstep. I set out at 6, thinking I'd have plenty of time to get home, break my fast, shower, and relax before going canoeing later.

8th time around!

In A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (I've only seen the Zero Mostel film version, never the revival), Erronius, played by Buster Keaton, thinks he must rid his home of a curse by running "seven times around the seven hills of Rome!" I've seen this movie about 1.2 million times, owing to the fact that I've been a student or teacher of Latin for almost 11 years now.
