Hi! What's your name?

I went for a run today, and it was just plain great. Beautiful weather, fun people out, all around wonderful. Maybe it's just because I've been having a few really good days and it carries over to my running. Maybe it's just because running is something that I've found makes me really happy. I decided to be adventurous today and run my normal beginning, and then try to find a way to make it back to my apartment without running on the road I don't like. I still haven't found it. My half alternative that I've found puts me on an even worse road, and that's just not good.

As I was running, there were two little girls sitting with their dad who was trying to fix one of the girls' bike. As soon as I got within shouting distance they both said "HI! What's your name?" and they were just as cute as could be. The dad got flustered, thinking that it was bothering me, but I went along with it and told them my name and talked to them about their bike. It was fun. I also liked that I didn't have to run through rivers to get anywhere.

I ran just a bit farther today before I started walking, and did the extra bit in less time than my usual run, which made me happy. Maybe running is something I should have taken up a long time ago.

The stats for the day:
Distance: about 4.8 miles
Time: 70 minutes, 6:30 pm
Sunny, cloudless, and blue :)
Temperature: 60 degrees
Humidity: 52%
Visibility: 10 miles
Wind: from the ENE at 10 mph
Pressure: 29.97 in and rising

That all equals--BEAUTIFUL!

The river runs...over the road

What a yucky day to run. After rain, tornados, and hail last night, it was disgusting out. So humid, so flooded, and so hard to run in because of all of the debris. It was fun, though, to talk to the little old lady who was cleaning off her driveway and talking to me about how she had never seen such bad weather here. It was also fun to see neighbors walking out of their houses yelling to their neighbors to see if they needed any help cleaning up. I saw frogs hopping around and worms trying to find ground that was dry enough for them to live in. While it was yucky to run in, it was still enjoyable. The stats:

Distance: About 4.8 miles
Time: 75 Minutes
Overcast and really humid
Temperature: 65 degrees
Humidity: 88%
Visibility: 3 miles
Wind: From the NNE at 6 mph
Pressure: 29.76 and rising

A little break..

One day, I couldn't post, and since then I've been too lazy to try to update because I felt like I would have to catch up and then that was a daunting task, so now after a month, I'm back. YAY!

I have been running, not quite as much as earlier because I just don't have the time. Maybe since Indiana finally began to have daylight savings time I'll realize that I can run at later hours in the day.

Today I did get out and move around. I convinced my roomie to rollerblade with me at school, and it was amazing to do it. It was 80 degrees at 4:30, and absolutely beautiful. YaY! Hopefully I'll make it out again tomorrow :)
