In an ideal world, I like to start my day off with a run. The combination of the time of the sunrise and my 8am classes do not allow for a morning run, shower AND breakfast. This week I have adjusted, and started running after dinner. I generally hate this for many reasons.

1) After dinner, I am generally already exhausted from the day, running just doesn't sound as appealing as crawling into bed with Grey's Anatomy.

2) It's STILL hot out.

3) There are large bugs and wild cats out at night. no joke.

4) After a whole day of eating and moving around and sweating, my body just doesn't feel as good when I'm running.

epic fail.

However, I have found that running after dinner gives me a reason to leave the apartment and get away for a bit. By 8pm I need to clear my head, and running is perfect for doing just that. Tonight I only managed a one-miler..not really for speed either. For the first time ever, I experienced an incredible headache and tightness in my chest about half a mile into my run. Not. Cool. I have decided that this is due to dehydration, judging by the amount I sweated during "pomping" the Gamma Phi Beta float this afternoon. (I have just realized that I haven't even discussed all of last week's events, we'll save that for another time)

Anyways, I have hope that next semester I will not be as much of an idiot to schedule all 8ams, thus allowing for more morning runs :)
