On Your Left!

Running through Middle-earth
Miles from Hobbiton: 71.5
Miles to Rivendell: 386.5

Long run today! Got 6.66 (THE MARK OF THE BEAST) km under my belt today. I barely even noticed it! I did more walking than I wanted to, but that's what the app told me to do, so there you go.

It was a perfect day for a run. It was warm enough that I could wear shorts and a tank top, and there was a bit of a breeze to keep you cool as you went along. It was bright and sunny, and traffic wasn't too loud. Beautiful.

Also I nearly got run over by a bike. Sort of. Well, I finished up a 10 minute run and slowed to a walk and turned to my left and nearly shrieked (I did go "AH" loudly though) as I saw a kid on a bike had come right up on my left. I immediately went "SORRY!" and he was like 'YOU'RE FINE."

It scared the dickens out of me.

Then like five minutes later a runner came up behind me and called out "on your left!" which nearly had me in stitches because all I could think of was Captain America because I'm a dork. Sadly I wasn't wearing my Cap workout shirt. Anyway, the runner gave me a hang ten as he ran by, which was cool.

I finished right at my parents' house, so I went in and talked to my mom a bit. She laughed at me for taking a selfie of my BRAND NEW RUNNING BELT.

Catherine Approved.

I wanted to make sure I got a couple runs in with it before I used it on my race on Sunday. It fits my phone and my keys and a couple other things, so it'll be perfect to run with. And I barely even noticed it once I got going, which is nice. It's like a fanny pack only not completely lame. Just slightly lame, and my shirt covers it anyway.
