Phew, after a LOOONNNG day aboard the grad school train, we had to do separate runs. Katelyn ran about 3.5mi outside in the snow with her dog, Beemer. The run was great. Well, somewhat. It was warm out and the snow was just starting to freeze over, so it wasn't slippery at all! YAY! On the way back to the car, I ran into...more like, almost stepped on...a dead bird :(. I wasn't sure if it was dead at first, so naturally, I sat there for about 5 min, watching it and tapping it lightly with my shoe. Yep, most definitely dead. So, I did the next thing I could think of to do: I made a birdy coffin out of the snow and "gently" tossed it off the path into the forest. So many miniature adventures out here in the mid-west!
116% agreed to what K said, I am pretty sure we boarded the "long-day express train", with one destination... mental exhaustion. ALL ABOARD!!! I ran 4.5 mi on the treadmill (I was too much of a pansy to run outside, and all my outdoor running clothes are dirty, I mean stanky!!!) so indoors it was. Solid run, but I despise treadmills, so on the next run day I need to put on my big girl panties, suck it up and run outside. Luckily I didn't encounter any dead species while running (boy would that be an awkward situation to tell the Y manager, "excuse me, I think you have a dead animal of the aviary kind near the treadmill section, just thought you'd like to know") Anyways, the days are only going to get longer with school, so in that case the quote of the day is "Rule number 76: No excuses. Play like a Champion!" (Wedding Crashers anyone?!)
