Total Distance
6.22

Ran 6.22 miles at BPA trail with Anya, strong headwind and the hills felt rough today, my right hamstring was still feeling tight today, must be from sprinting around playing tennis on Sunday.  Did 2 extra laps around Celebration park at the end, and kicked it up a notch in the 6th mile when a bum talked to me (talked to himself?!) and I tried to maintain it afterwards. :-)  Don't worry, have my trusty mace!  Rain held off until the very end.

Was starving and ate way too much dinner and now I want to throw up!  Whoops.  :-)  Now time for a little more work and then LOST!

Haha, maybe he made you run faster!? I feel like that happens to me outside of my work, weekly.
