Nice run tonight... ran the upper parkway. As I was coming back from my turn around point I knew that there was a nice hill that I thought would be good for some hill sprints. So I don't know how and didn't plan for it so I didn't mess with my garmin... just ran them. So it turned out that there was a tree at the top of the hill and a tree at the bottom that were my marker. I would run as hard as I could to the top... turn and walk back to the other hill. I did this 5 times. I don't know if this is how you are supposed to do them or if they are doing my any good. But every time I got to the top my legs and lungs were burning... so I figure it's a pretty good thing. There is a running store along the parkway and I stop in there sometimes if I need a potty break. I figured out I just passed the 500 mile mark of my shoes, so I stopped in to see if they had my Asics because last time I was shoe shopping all the local store were complaining of running out of the shoes I love. Turns out they don't have them so I told the owner I would be back Saturday to try on others and see what will work. I'm very bummed. I know the owner and have run with him several times... really nice guy. Tonight when I was talking to him he looked different to me, I realized he had over groomed his eyebrows. Men should not have overly arched eyebrows, it makes them look to feminine and in some ways strange. Then when I got back to the gym to streach and do abes they had tables set up letting you try all these drinks and stuff. There was a man behind one of the tables that had the largest and weirdest muscles I have every seen in person. He looked like a cartoon... so weird. I thought to myself he was not a good choice for that company to promote what they were selling because I can't imagine anyone wanting to look like that. Oh well that is just my weird observations tonight. Nice run... a bit cooler they last night and a few more clouds. Had just the tiniest bit of sprinkles at one point in my run. 7.34 miles - 1:05:24 laps: 8:39, 8:26 (need to slow down my warm-up miles) 9:00, (should have been faster here) 8:41, 10:56 (LOL I'm pretty sure this was my hill sprints, the walking back really made my mile slow... either that or I realy stink at hill sprints) 8:39, 8:18 (wanted to speed up a bit at the end) (.34) 8:06
