My Super Sweet Seventeen!!

Super-sweet might be pushing it, but i did complete 17 miles today.
i was looking at the schedule and realized that i will only have 3 more mileage increases, 18, 20, and 22. after that, i'll keep rotating through them to get faster. and getting faster will be important since i was SLOW today. you could have probably watched a whole season worth of reruns on tv during the time it took me to finish the run. i had put too many hills in the mileage and just kicked my own ass. what was interesting was that it was harder to come down the hills, than it was to go up them. that was an unexpected twist.

other than that, it was hot and super-sunny. i ran out of water twice and had to go on little detours to get some. once my saturday class is over, i'll definitely make sure to get the runs in during the early morning hours on either saturday or sunday. its just hard to try and push harder and harder and try and not pass out from the heat at the same time.
lastly, i discovered a $50 ticket upon my return to the vehicle. apparently, my tags are expired. i look into my glove compartment and i had the new ones in there. blah... i did not know they could give you a ticket for that when the car is parked. now i have to go to the SF traffic authority and show them that i did have my tags and they will reduce the ticket. just blah.

haha, you said "get the runs."

In other, more mature news, I have decided that your running has inspired me to run one day and not stop until I absolutely have to stop, and then try to figure out how far I went and how long it took me. Though I suppose I should try to make it a loop, so that I don't just end up 10 miles from home or something.

haha, yeah, like I would get 10 miles. I'm about to go get Taco Bell.
