Well, that run was super shitty...

Last night, I had a 5 mile run scheduled.  And the whole time I was thinking about how much it sucked.  I felt awkward and wonky.  This is how I envisioned myself looking:


The problems started from the very beginning.  It was warm out, around 50, but it was rainy.  I was so afraid I was going to get caught in driving rain, and freeze my buns off.  I had shin splints, and they hurt bad.  I actually called Kyle at 1.25 miles out to come pick me up.  He didn't answer, so I decided to suck it up and keep going.  Luckily, they went away.

On the way back, I quickly found out I was running into the wind.  I thought for sure that my pace was around 11:30/mile.  I uploaded my run to Nike+, logged in, and saw this:



Umm.  WTF?!?!?  I totally didn't think I was anywhere under a 10:00/mile in the last 2 miles.  My average pace was 10:14/mile.  I'm getting closer and closer to keeping it under 10:00.  And I couldn't be more proud.

I've got a 5 mile run tonight, and then rest day tomorrow.  We're going to see The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo(!!!!!!) at 3:30.  Someone promise me that it won't be crowded.  There will be copious amounts of junk food consumed over the next few days.  I'll try to get pictures of everything.  Since I love my junk food.
