Comments:
i hate not having practice! dunna what i'm gunna do the next couple weeks...especially trying to stay focused and study for finals...
decided to take my i-pod with me, thinking i'd be lonely. after the first block realized i'd rather hear the birds.
ran most of the way to AU. found a mostly shady alley-way to do striders. did 4 (progressing in speed) and probably 100 meters-ish. the first two warming up, but still fastish. the second two were really sprints. the third i was beginning to get to the balls of my feet. by the last i was truly on my toes.
run back was very pleasant. got to enjoy the lush gardens...love the spring flowers...such vibrant violets and magentas...and the green is so green...
not too sore, but still made myself stretch when i got back. with nothing left to do with all this free time, i began counting all the bug bites i'd recently gotten. i was at 42 by the time my mom had arrived.
