Monday & Tuesday

Monday. Volleyball. Forced 3 matches. Good exercise. We lost.

Tuesday. Rode to work. Ran. Rode home. Now I'm tired.

I ran solo with only the occassional group of ground squirrels to dash across the trail in front of me. At one point I noticed I had a lady bug hitchhiking on my shoulder. As pathetic as it may sound, this is the furthest I'm run in a long while but then again, I'm focused on the 5K first and after Thursday, will ramp up for the half. This will mean more outdoor running as the treadmill wont work for distance.

Interesting video from a blog I read. It made me think about a man's need to run for survival in parts of the world versus what I'm doing before taking a nice shower and grabbing food from the cafeteria...
