back to school

After my run on Monday night, I didn't get anything else in until this morning. Too busy with work and/or too hot. I think the little break helped - my plan was to do the 5 mile Gimghoul run. However, when I got to the Old Well and realized the rest of the way was flat or downhill, I decided I had enough energy to try to find another mile and make it a 6 mile run, which was really what I had hoped to do. Students are arriving at campus and there was a feeling of a new start in the air, so I found a shady and interesting loop to do around campus before heading back home. So, I got in 6 miles! That may be a first for me. (I think I ran 6 miles once about a year ago but I wasn't keeping close track - it was just an estimate based on how long I'd run). Today was the first official run of that length - yea!
