Springfield Loop

August 20, 2008 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 60F, misty

Comments:
Woke up at 0500, fairly well rested. Got my shit together and was on the run shortly after 0530. It was very dark this morning, in part because of the rain system rolling through the area. The run started dry, but the mist came on gradually and at times threatened actual rain, but by run's end it tapered off.

Had gut rot all run this morning. I had to grind almost immediately and had to really pinch it to make the first porta-pisser 3.5 miles into the run. Then, just 5 minutes later I had to go again, so it was a struggle through the main Pre loop 'til I made it to the BMX park. Thank god for that shitter there!

By then it was fairly well lit out but time was blowing by and I knew I was going to be late for my 0700 "going-away breakfast". I ground out the last couple miles of my run (with intermittent gut rot persisting), showered and packed quickly, yet I was nearly a full half hour late. JIMMY'D.

Last day in Eugene. I looked forward to this summer for so long, yet it seems I've spent half of it looking forward to going home! Such is my existence -- and something I need to improve upon. Nevertheless, I had some great times and terrific adventures. And this internship turned out better than I could've ever possibly hoped.

Wish me luck on the drive home... :)

PS: No circuits or weights today. Gonna take off of these 'til Monday of next week, since I've been going hard for three months, nearly.
