I run.
goneonarun:
I run because it hurts. I run because the physical pain takes away the emotional. I run because the physical pain is worth it.

we're going to start lifting friday

"career" longest run today
the title “longest run” just seemed weird, but i’m just trying to get at that today i ran the farthest i’ve ever ran before! it was a recovery run: workout yesterday, hills tomorrow. i guess since this is only my second xc season i’ve never run further… track milage is usually lower. 8.3 miles in 1 hour 7 minutes, or about 8:04 pace. so not too shabby. i do have...

lunarglide 2

nikes, anyone?
hey, so i’ve seen people with these royal blue nikes with a lime/highlighter green sole & laces. i was wondering if, based on this vague description, any of you out there could tell me what series that could possibly be?

shoe shopping?
right now i have the urge to hit up ross & tj maxx to see if they have any nike’s in stock. because i’d love to have a pair, but i already have running shoes & don’t want to spend full price. plus my uncle got some for like, $35 at bob’s, but we don’t have that around here, unfortunately :(
