Notes
I really didn't want to run today. I spent yesterday walking all around Chicago (~10 miles) and hadn't ate since like 6:00. It was quite dumb of me to get up and go on a run on an empty stomach--and it was hot too! I need to get up earlier to avoid the heat. If it wasn't so hot, it wouldn't have been so bad. But it was.
And, as I was waiting to cross Newburg, this lady that I had passed on the bike path twice walked up to me and then crossed before I did, so then I felt stupid for waiting there so long (but like I was exhausted!! and she was literally just a walker!!). She had said to me "oh you caught up to me!" and then proceeded to cross the street. So I took a deep breath and launched across the street, sprinted past her, and then hauled it down Sequoia. I felt like I had good form and everything. I was zooooooming down it and it felt good. But it also felt like death because it was hot and I am out of shape. So then as I was finishing I pretty much raced a car and then promptly stopped at my driveway. That really did me in. And ya it all sucked. Did it for Global Running Day I guess.
Splits:
1 mile - 8:51
2 mile - 8:37
3 mile - 8:26
0.26 mile - 6:27 pace (yea like I said, ZOOMIN)
