Yesterday I got a lot done that I needed to such as cleaning. I built a bookcase we bought the other day and did laundry etc. I also finished 1984. It wasn't that great but was okay. I just felt like the autho really made his point and was super repeatitive about it. I had planned to read sparknotes as I read to get into any themes I may have been missing but it seemed pretty easy to follow. I was mainly reading it since it is on a lot of those lists of books you should read and I never had read it in class.
Today me and Alicia did a 13.1 mile run in 3 hours and 24 minutes. It was like 95 degrees when we left and then the last 4 miles it was pouring down rain on and off. It was okay with the rain b/c it cooled it down but it isn't fun to have wet socks while you run. Alicia only had pain in her hip toward the very very end of the run so it worked out better than expected. This is only the 2nd time I've ever run the distance of a half marathon without it being a race. I think it is good preperation. My feet were hurting most of the 2nd half of the run which is frustrating. I also felt a little sore and my lower back was bothering me but felt better after my shower.
If you notice we are soaked in this photo...the thing about wearing glasses in the rain is that it makes it very hard to see. The rain also makes the sweat go in your eyes so that doesn't help either.
I was trying to show off and pretty much missed my mouth but since it was raining it didn't matter much.
....................More running to come!
