todays run. i can't think of a better title.

today's scheduled 7-miler went ok. i finished at least. i did the first 6.2 miles in about 1:03, and then the last 0.8 mile took maybe 13 minutes? i was really shuffling at that point. i forgot to bring water or gatorade and was seriously thirsty half way through the run.

the new shoes seemed to perform ok but it was just one run. i'm anxious to see how they hold up.

it started raining around the 3.3 mile mark. my sweatshirt that started off weighing 10 lbs in high humidity, began to feel more like a 20 lb weight. maybe i should leave the sweatshirt at home next time? i ran with a sweatshirt on all through college and now it seems like i just grab it out of habit. dumb, i know.

the one funny thing that happened involved, you guessed it, a hot girl. i was running on a very small dirt path that flanks the actual cement path. i'm running along not paying attention to anything, and out of no where this girl flew by me from behind. i wasn't really paying attention to anything but then all of sudden i noticed she had on very short running shorts.

but they seemed kind of big. anyway, it was a little breezy and they were flying up! this was a very neat diversion on a long hot run but then i tripped over the cement path and almost fell flat on my face. that was very embarrassing. i guess it serves me right.
