Six More Down!

I thought I'd learned my lesson on Thursday, but guess not... figured I'd give the airport run another shot. Yeah, still took me forever, but I did take a short-cut walking home (although I got turned around a bit walking through the Arlington Highlands shopping center). At any rate, I took advantage of the high 60's weather and knocked out another six miles.

Miles I still need to run: 6

Only six more miles to go... Almost done!

Closer to the Finish Line...

Knocked out six more miles today. Weather lightened up to a nice 55 degrees, and I set out to find a new running course. I ran around the Arlington airport, and bit off a bit more than I could chew, I think... After six miles of running, I had to walk the rest of the way home (an extra half hour). Lesson learned, eh?

Christmas is almost here!

Six more miles down (finally!)

Heya folks,

Yesterday I knocked out six more miles after a long-overdue hiatus (due to the move, of course). During the course of my run, I was attacked by a crazy little dog that looked like a white poofball with jaws. Fortunately, I escaped the devilish beast with nothing injured by my pride. I imagine the sight of me high-stepping it away from a maniac fluffy puppy must have been quite amusing.

Happy Holidays, everybody!
