This morning, I woke up to go running and realized I didn't have my running shoes! Apparently, I left them at our previous hotel, which really sucks. I got lucky and they still had them there, so we picked them up in the midmorning. Plus, I didn't have access to the internet to find out this week's workouts until afternoon. So, I ran later in the day. At around 4pm, J&C dropped me off at Apia Park Sports Complex and ran on their track. Although 6 miles on the track usually would suck, I had entertainment - there was rugby practice on the field and some of the track and those guys... yeah. I ran for 45 minutes on the track (switching direction every mile) and the guys there at first were giving me annoyed looks, but by the end I even got some applause as I came around! It was funny and fun. Then I ran from there to the hotel up on the cross island road - all uphill again, yuk - three miles more. After, I hopped in the pool with the kids for a while and it felt so awesome. Yay for being on vacation! Avg. 7:47/mi. (Adrenaline 405.3) Today is my halfway point for being in American Samoa - I've been here for a month and a week and have the same amount of time left - crazy!
