Here Comes The Sun

The sun has appeared. It was beautiful this morning when I woke up, and stayed that way all day. High temp around 78 degrees, and still balmy now at 9pm. Most of the day, however, I spent studying. I still have a lot to do, too. I am going to make this final physio exam my bitch.

I got a new haircut, too...decided to go a bit shorter. Of course it will never look as good as it did after she styled it today, but I like it and I think it will be nice for the summer.

I decided to go for a new route for my run today. I was aiming for a 3 or 3.5 mile run today. I found a new route on mapmyrun.com, that looked like it went by the river...I ran and ran, but it just seemed to sort of go through the 'hood, though it was near the river...eventually, after about 2.5 miles, I discovered that I was in the wrong place. I could see the park where I was supposed to start, down below. So I drove my car down there, and ran another 1.5 or 2 miles in the riverside park, which was really pretty and has a lot of routes in there to explore at later dates. The first part of it is up a big hill, though. For me, right now, it's a barf-up-a-lung hill that I ran about 1/2 of. Maybe by the end of summer I'll be able to run it all. One of these times I'll bring the camera and take some pictures. My weekly mileage ended up at 14, which is about what I was aiming for. It felt great to finally run in shorts!

Below: my new haircut, and pics from the High Drive run I usually do, which is near my house.
