Hello everyone,
It's been awhile since I've posted anything lately, apologies.
The weather in Bloomington has not been the most cooperative in terms of running conditions. I don't mind a little rain during a run, I actually prefer it, but when it is heavy down pour it really puts a damper on my day.
My training schedule this past week has been a little out of whack, so in attempt to combat the weather I tried indoor run on the treadmill... I ran 2 miles and felt motion sick. During the week my mileage wasn't on schedule, so by the weekend I had to make up about 2-3 miles from the week (this week is also a tamper week to bump up the milage for the coming week.)
The long run for the weekend, I normally take a 1 minute walking break between every 3 miles, but this past run I decided to push through the pain and just run the whole thing, and around mile 4-5 I could feel the pain slowly disappear and I felt relaxed. This is what runner's high must feel like, the spirit of Forest Gump inside of you. It was first time I've ever experienced this type of feeling, and I'm only craving more now.
So a little update on what's coming up. I have my finals coming up next next week, so this week I have to buckle down and start studying.... But, since its 4th of July weekend, I'm going with a couple of friends to Red River Gorge to do a little bit of camping and rock climbing. I'll be studying during the drive and during the mornings and evenings. I've really be fortunate to have such great friends during a time when I was feeling a little down. Needless to say, I haven't been this happy better yet content in a long time.
Have a great holiday weekend everyone, I'll post some pictures of my mini-vacation when I get back.
