6pm 73 degrees Hill hill hills and a knat...ewww

I woke up at the usual 6am at breakfast and went back to bed. I changed my alarm about 3 times after that and finally woke up at 9am. And really didn't feel like running. I kept bargaining with myself all day long. Instead I walked the dogs, cleaned out the closet, did some studying and laid out in the lawn chair on the driveway and tried to get some color.

I went to school and took my last test for that class and when I got home I fed the dogs and went a running. I did make a mistake of eating a happy meal at around 3:30 on the way to school. I felt it while running.

Overall I was very happy with this run b/c for the first 1/2 it was all hills..if I wasn't going up one I was going down one. I took them slow and steady, b/c there is no way I could sprint up these bad boys. they don't call that area Lake in the Hills for nothin'! It is pretty to look at and the houses are huge!

On my run I saw a group of boys playing baseball and then I saw some girls playing. It was pretty funning just to see how differently thegame is played with the two different groups.

Oh and I got some Gu at the Vitamin Shoppe. Today I tried vanilla bean. I was very surprised by the pleasant texture. I thought it was going to be nasty but I would actually eat another. I had 1/2 of one at about 4.5 miles and then the rest at about 6 or 7th mile. Maybe I should bring two next time?

post run fuel--oatmael and a powerade...yum
