This week was very out of the ordinary. I started waking up early to run last week, however this week was about half and half. On Sunday I ran in the evening because I was busy during the morning. On Tuesday I was suppose to run 4 miles, and this is when running becomes interesting. I was exactly 2 miles away from my apartment at 6:15am when my stomach decides to go crazy on me and hurt! TWO MILES! I couldn't run and there were NO businesses on the side of town I was on, and to top it off none of my friends were awake for them to pick me up. So, I walked the remaining 2 miles back home in hopes I would get to the apartment before my stomach hurt worse. I made it, but the rest of the day I felt miserable. :(
Then there was my day off on Wednesday, and I was asked to go to a Cardinals game with a friend! I was very excited because she had box tickets and I LOVE the Cardinals!! So, I went to the game. It was amazing, of course! One bummer is that we were in traffice for two and a half hours because of flooding!! We didn't get to the game until the 6th inning--so it wasn't as much fun as it should have been--but I just love Busch! Our seats were amazing though, they were all-inclusive indoor/outdoor. It was really nice in there, thank you Curry Ice & Coal & Sabra! :)
Just to add a bonus of being a Cardinals fan: They won 7 games straight - that means BOGO dinner at Lumiere! Whooooo!!! Why wouldn't anyone be a fan?? haha..
I didn't get back until 2:30am this morning--so there was no way I was going to wake up 3 hours later to run. Therefore, I went on a run at 7pm. I was suppose to do mile repeats tonight and I did one mile at a 8:20 pace--so 2 miles total and about died. The humidity was horrible, and there was no way I was going to hurt my lungs. It's times like this I think "this is how I will give up in a race if I give up now." There was no way I could do the repeats with the humidity, so instead of running a 3 fast miles, I ran 5 slow. It balances out--I'm just sayin'. :)
Tomorrow I plan to run in the evening again (after I try to get some dinner out of my brother!) :)
I'm thinking about getting another pair of Vibram FiveFingers..but I dunno...
