Athens, Ga

Distance: 7 miles

Got off work. Ate. Checked about everything there is to check online. Took a nap. Did I have plenty of time to run today? yes. Did I want to? no. Why? I have no idea. I love to run, so why is it so hard to just walk out the door sometimes? Finally, it’s 5 pm and I walk out the door with my i-pod (I needed something to motivate me). First mile or so, achey heel. I round the corner after mile 2 and I’m in the groove. I absolutely love this; sometimes making the decision to walk out the door is the hardest part.

7.5 miles

Ran one of my favorite routes in Athens. Down Milledge with a loop around UGA’s entire campus. It was nice running this one during the summer because the sidewalks are clear of students hurrying to class. I can enjoy the loop without any obstacles. I felt great today, but the hill at the end got me. They definitely don’t get any easier.

It’s Friday!!! Got off work and caught up with one of my best friends on the phone. Man, do I miss her. Chilled for a bit. Then decided to go on a short run. My grandmother told me to wait and run when it’s cooler. I told her I like being hot and I like to sweat. She laughed. It was 91 degrees and humid. Ahh, here you are summer. I was beginning to get used to the cooler weather. My legs were tired today. Tomorrow will be an off day for sure.
