Racing the Storm

  If I wasn't exhausted enough from a 12 hour work day and three major assignments,  I couln't end this long October night without some run. Until recently, I've never had the attention span to focus an hour of my time on exercising (or anything for the matter). Earlier this week, I was reading up on health studies and habits and I think I just hit the magical 66th day. I was stuck inside all this week with endless coffee and readings and it was finally time to get some beautiful fall air.
 

  I really love RunKeeper. It uses social network peer pressure to run farther and faster.

You can see that right around mile 5 (at Atwood and Walnut), I decided to extend my run a few more painful miles taking my little venture up to a 10k. Unfortunately, as soon as I hit mile 6, so did a bolt of lighting, immediately followed by a deafening crash. I peaced the fuck out and sprinted a 5.3 minute mile home.

  Running in the rain just made it that much better. Kind of like how everythank look better in slow-motion.
