Running Blog

Went just three today so we could get over to the Quad to set up our tent for the campout. Before I went on my run I kept looking out the window to check for snow, because I heard it was supposed to. But it was just cloudy all day. Then, the very second I walked out of the emergency stairwell (the one we used to transport our illegal kitten and also the one my roommate peed her pants in), this slushy substance started to fall from the sky. It wasn't really rain and it wasn't really snow.. either way, I was glad for my new running gloves and stretchy pants. (: Luckily it didn't start to really snow until I got back into the apartment.

Didn't have human development today because of an out-of-class exam, so after watching my Physics professor stick her finger in liquid nitrogen then smash it with a hammer, I took advantage of the extra time and went for a run. Even stopped at the park and did some core exercises, since I never bothered to participate in high school. Felt good. The weather was great. And fall in Logan is absolutely gorgeous.

Same run I did yesterday.. backwards Lundstrom and up the Ellsworth hill. Started raining halfway through.. about five minutes after that, it started raining hard. I wouldn't exactly call it pouring, but it was definitely a hard rain, and also the rainwater was very cold. It felt really nice though. 

Holy smokes. I ran with Alli today cause she had to do her workout for STATE (it's like the circle of life, except the circle of Peterson's). She had 1200, 1000, 800, 600. We went to a park to do it, and the loop we did was actually fairly tough, with hills and lots of grass. Warm up was about 1.5 miles, then we did the 1200 and I almost managed to stay with her. I opted out of the 1000 and just timed her. Then on the 800 I actually did stay with her (she struggled on the up and downhills). Then the 600 she just about destroyed me, except I had the watch so I started pushing with 30 seconds left and got closer. Cool down was just a mile.
