I was so angry that I decided to run in the special detention center. Honestly, the pleasure was more than questionable. But I made up my mind and, over those 30 days, ran 109 kilometers there—I kept track in a little notebook. So if there’s ever a sport where you have to run back and forth on a 21-meter track, weaving around smokers and jumping over fresh spit, then I’d say I’ve got a shot at making the national team.
