things i learned today.

Today we had our second group run. I didn't sleep very well last night, so 5 o'clock came very early. When I woke up it was pouring  down rain and lightning really bad. I really didn't want to run in the rain but knew I needed to get a run in somehow. I checked the radar (cause I am a big weather geek) and realized by the time 6:36 rolled around, it wouldn't be raining or storming anymore. Relief. Although I knew it was going to be humid (pronounced hooooomid) again today. Better than running in the rain!

We ran the Furman 5k course today and I have to say that was the longest 5k I've ever run. I have this huge thing about if there is a start and a finish, the finish line seems to be running away from me. I feel like if I just set out to run and had no particular distance to go, I could run for days. But when you give me a finish line, I freak out! So I am definitely going to have to work on that mental aspect. I don't really think it will work to my advantage in a race of 26.2 miles. I even said before we started that the course we were going to run seemed so far. Maybe that was my problem. I had negative thoughts from the beginning! I'll definitely check that at the car door next run!

The things I learned today are:

1) Furman's campus has hills.

2) Follow the painted white guy.

3) Not to use non stick spray when making scrambled eggs.

4) Naps are awesome. (Not that I didn't already know that, but my nap today just reiterated that fact.)
