May 9, 2014 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Today was graduation. I didnt realize it was so close to finals. The last day of tests was yesterday! Grades arent even due till Tuesday! There is absolutely no concept of a "Senior Week" here. I guess they want to ship the kids out ASAP. Also, with 21,000 students, thats a lot of traffic and clueless parents on campus. Group meeting got cancelled so I just didnt even bother going in. Chilled at home. A day to let my brain decompress after the tough semester, but it was also super boring. Got a headache in the afternoon and I wanted to run so bad. Along with graduation, it was wet and rainy. Basically Ithacating. I am glad I wasnt out at the ceremony. Ran out north, got on the trail, then just kept rolling. I was surprised that I felt that good, felt like I could keep going forever. Turned around at 25 mins, it was really quiet out in the woods, just the rain falling on the trees and leaves, very very peaceful and refreshing. Picked it up on the way back and decided to keep going around SES. Good decision.

Essentials: Stretch

Stretched a little outside but the ground was real moist and I finished up inside. Legs were feeling weak on the way back, its been a while since I went this far. Felt strong and good overall though. Awesome run on a cool weather day. Got to go into work tomorrow to make up, so hopefully campus will be a little less crowded and I can fit in a run there.
