 felt weird not running yesterday for the first time in 35 days. took a road trip to visit some friends so didn't really have time. had a headache all of yesterday for some reason.
 

ran 5.2 miles at lunch at 7:03 pace.

after work ran 3 with my brother and we have a rule where either of us can challenge the other. he decided to challenge me about 0.1 miles from home. i crushed him! ran another 1.8 on my own. 8:43 pace for the 4.8 total.

ran 5.4 at lunch. started at a comfortable pace and then picked it up. i was racing a bus that seemed to stop every few driveways and i almost kept up with it for about 3/4 of a mile. felt really, really good, haven't felt this good since i can remember while running. 

 i agreed to take care of someone's pets (one of them happens to be a dog a used to own) for the next 9 days. There are 2 rhodesian ridgebacks, a fish and a cat. It would be fine except there's an 18yr old cat who misses the litter box (and it's a huge litter box) and it can't walk right so i may have to bring the litter box upstairs and i have to shove pills down her throat twice a day and i'm afraid she's going to bite me. i've been assured it won't bite me but i don't feel very comfortable around cats.

 had to figure out everything i had to do so only had the energy to run 3 miles with my brother. didn't start till almost 9pm. hopefully i can get at least 3.8 miles out of the way tomorrow morning but i'm very poor at getting up to run in the morning. i'll snooze 10-15 times. i hate getting in less than 10 miles.
