Notes
I had a great run tonight. Worked late, came home and watched Obama's speech, then headed out for a run. Had no idea where i was going, how long i was going or how fast i was going. Just put on the ipod to some Counting Crowes and ran. Headed downtown to check out the set up for the Fling. Very nearly got hit by a car at the intersection of Eagle and Jackson. I know no one was supposed to be driving there because the roads were all blocked and the blew through the stop sign. Had i been 1 second faster i would have gotten hit hard. It made me think of the time John almost got hit crossing 75th street with us on a run. I am pretty sure i now know what he was feeling like. I have been running for a long time and that was by far the closest i have come to literally getting flattened. Anyway at the time i kind of brushed that off and kept running. Made it over by the track and it was open so i hopped on and did an easy building mile in 5:32. It felt good and wasn't that hard so i do hold out a slight hope for the race tomorrow. Kept up a solid pace all the way home. Timed my last mile in 6:04. I think i just need to forget about all of the other shit and just run. Hit the stretching and situps when i got home. Goodnight!
