last 2 runs

How many times can I give a blog post that same title?

Wednesday was a very pleasant 2x around the pumpkin loop. It was cool and drizzly - perfect.

Today I ran my first 7 mile run! Actually, the run part was 7 miles and it was an extra .44 or so up the hill. I'm counting it as 7.5, since I always count walking up Bradley (my cool down) as part of my mileage anyway. And I round to the nearest quarter mile. :)

I did the gimhoul plus plus run, which took me through many parts of campus. Today was a home football game, so there was a lot of dodging of UNC and ECU fans. I ran right through several tailgate parties (had to! they were on the sidewalk and the roads were full of big SUVs looking for a place to park). There was much beer drinking and fried chicken eating at 10am. There was Tarheel Town, with its big inflated jumping things and marching band. I took a picture of a man and his daughter at the Old Well, where I stopped to fill up my water bottle. It was fun to be a part of it all without really being a part of it at all. Next time there's a home game, though, I think I'll find another route. One run through home football UNC land is probably enough.
