RTGPL + Town Center

December 2, 2015 (Night)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Oh yea a night run. Stayed on campus late today, working on my year end report. Its kinda cool to see everything I did last year. I was getting frustrated because I dont have the results I want yet. I have done a lot to get closer and closer though, focus my direction, hone my skills. I just wonder if I am riding that line of unproductivity and progress. Its important to sit down and digest things everyonce and a while. My brain was just fried as it got later and I knew that I absolutely had to run. I brought my stuff in, but decided I wanted to go home first and run. Dropped it off then headed out. It was kinda warm out shorts weather. Drizzling a little. Made it tough actually I went down to Groff first. It was dark, and my lamp was very dim. I think its getting low on batteries. Long story short I couldnt see shit. It was kinda cool and scary to not see where you were going, but knowing how to get there and knowing where the end was (kinda an analogy to grad school...?) I decided to turn up and go towards town to be in the light a little more. Cut backside of campus, up Dickinson, along Main, then back home through town center. Had to slow it down coming home since I couldnt see again. Felt good paced and comfortable though. Legs are getting back into it. Forgot to restart my watch on the way back but I can estimate the time.

Essentials: Stretch, roll, planks

I was pretty wound up right before going out, not too good. Felt so much better out there and when I got back. No matter how stressful and crazy it gets in the lab, you can always go out and run to reset things. Its great and just what I need. Stretch in the side room was solid. ITs tight worked them out. Did some planks too. Got to build up the core and thats a way to do it. Hopefully I can keep it up and do more. Overall today, long day, late hours, but a run to top it off made it all worth it.
