So tonight I decided to take my running act outside.  It was awesome! A great night to run, the temperature was perfect-the kind where you are sweating but you can’t feel it due to the crisp air.  Anyway, I discovered a few things: 

1.  Running outside is SOOOOO much harder than on the treadmill!  Navagating the somewhat crowded and uneven city sidewalks and lead to aches and pains in muscles I didn’t know I had! 

2.  I want need a Garmin or SOMETHING to track my distance, speed and time.  OY.  I THINK I did about 3.5 miles in about 40 mins???? Dunno.  Counted city blocks.  Did 65.  Made a loop to Rittenhouse, ran around that 5 times, then looped it back home.  I know, boring.  SEE!  IF I HAD A GARMIN, I could just see my stats and quit re-living my run in my head to try to figure those stats out.  Getting one.  Done and done.

3.  I HATE GINKOS!  Unfortch my i-pod ran out of batteries (luckily I was already heading back home).  So I was stucking listening to the squish-smoosh of the stinkin’ (literally) ginko balls.  EW.  Yuck.  Glad we settled that.

Sooooo tired.  Nighty!
