Stadium Loop

November 8, 2016 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
The afternoon and evening are blurred now because it gets so dark, so basically every run is a night run. I was going HAM on prospectus today, feeling good about my progress, and I definitely wanted to run before the festivities tonight. Got home and got out, and felt pretty good actually. My shoulders were kinda sore from lifting on Sunday but felt nice and relaxed today. Temp was fine. It was really dark so I just kept to myself and wasnt thinking about lab at all which was kinda nice. As I got to the stadium it got real real dark. I could actually hear the marching band in the background. They started playing God Bless America, and at that moment I really shook off all the pessimism and shit of this whole election season and felt thankful and kinda proud about USA. Especially since out in that field we shoot off fireworks on Fourth of July, we should be thankful for what we have and work to make it better. Its the first time in a while I had some trust and hope for our country. Anyways... that kept me rolling at a solid pace around the field. I actually ran into the band on the way back, they were marching down the street in the dark haha. The rest of the way back I felt awesome and even picked up the pace, smoothest I have felt in a while. Even when you think your out of shape, I feel like I can bring something up from deep within and run well.

Essentials: Stretch

Yea decent stretch when I got back. Legs kinda tight, back tight too from lifting. It feels strong though. I did my part today in voting (and running) now its time to see what everyone else did.
