this past weeks run (originally 4.8.07)

so this past week while you were recovering and getting fat i logged the following runs:

tuesday: i went to track...on average we run about 2-3 miles. this week's workout was 4x1000m with 200m rest walk/jog intervals in between (and trust me i walked very slow!). it was a good workout, but the coolest part was during my warm-up. instead of running around the track several times like i normally do, i decided to run the large loop that goes around the track and several soccer fields. i wasn't too far along and i heard this rustling in the trees above me...than i heard the sound of branches breaking and some screeching! i look up and saw this bald eagle fly out from the tree. it had a bird in its talons and threw it against the ground below and than another eagle came and grabbed it and threw it down again. then the two eagles grabbed the bird (now dead and possibly missing a wing) and flew back up in the trees. it was AWESOME!

thursday: this was when you called after "lame-ass class" it was a shorter run, but challenging for one who hasn't run for quite some time. i think it was about three miles and i experienced my own "lame-ass class." i also took jonah with me and he went a chased a rabbit into some blackberry bushes, and got stuck...stupid dog.

sunday/ easter: today! i actually got up early enough to run and go to church...both an amazing thing in their own right! i went out to some trails and had planned to do the longer of the two loops that i do there, but in the end i did both loops. total miles about 3.5. it was a beautiful morning...sunny and a little chilly but compared to rainy afternoon it was awesome. He is risen!

now get off your butt and run!
