Running in the middle of the road

If you live here on the island, and you ever see me running down the middle of the road, it's not because I've lost my mind or become a tourist. It's because I've discovered that our darn streets slope off pretty noticeably on each side, to facilitate water runoff. Unfortunately, that slope also facilitates pain in my calf muscles, which is alleviated when I run on a flatter surface. Like the dead center of the road. Luckily, I run on relatively quiet roads, so it works out okay for me. And of course, yes, I do move to the side when I see or hear a car coming!
