Happy Ash Wednesday

Two days ago I went for a morning run/walk with Laura. We went down to the road halls, up Hull to Bringham and around back to Wilson. I forgot how lovely it is to run with someone else-- it makes the time go by so much quicker!

Yesterday Julia and I were planning on running in the morning but because I had a paper to write, we decided to go in the afternoon and by then it was snowing heavily. I really wanted to run in the snow (it sounded like so much fun!) but Julia wouldn't let me (something lame about falling down...) so we ran on the indoor track of Bennett. I don't really like running on tracks in general, especially not ones that take 10 laps for a mile, but it's better than a treadmill (does anybody else think treadmill running feels artificial?). SO we ran 1 mile, stopped to stretch, and then ran another 2. I felt pretty good, minus my face feeling like it was going to explode (it's pretty warm in there). I didn't struggle for the third mile at all, so I think I could have handled another mile or two, but I'm glad we didn't push it. My legs were tired afterwards but today I feel completely normal. And again, it was so much better having someone else to run with.
