Reason number 12 on why I run outside

Water fountains.

I am running five miles in Crocheron Park, Queens and stop off for the second time at the water fountain. It is blockish cement thing with a spigot on top and a tiny recessed pool with a drain. I drink a couple of fast gulps and start running again. I feel the it immediately. My face is covered in spider web and I am dragging an angry spider along seemingly attached to my hip. This web was not there a mile ago. He must of worked quickly? Or did I miss him the first time? I scoop off the web from my face and lower the spider to the ground, all the while never loosing my pace.

Spiders. Okay-that's reason number 13.

"I feel the it immediately."

Upton Sinclair-esque.
