7 mile run....

today i ran all the way from the south side to millennium park... back to the southside... it was an amazing feeling.

at least a couple of days a week i make that drive downtown.... so i really enjoyed that feeling of accomplishment when i made it there and back on my own two feet! lol :-)

i should have been nervous going into this run since i haven't done a long run in two weeks (the last long run i did was the 4 mile run... i missed the 5 and 6 mile run because i was traveling and then last saturday was my birthday). but i wasn't because of the success i've been having in the gym the last two weeks...

being confidant definetly made a difference because i was fully able to enjoy my run. by the time we started running it was about 65 degrees... by the time we were done it was 70+. the sun was out, the lake was beautiful.... although the heat became a little brutal by the end.... it was a GREAT experience overall :-).

after the run i went to ballys for an hr... and now i'm back home getting ready to start the rest of my day.

please please donate! i haven't gotten any new donations! :-(

the link to my donation page is to the right.... please check it out! :-)

peace.

p.s. i apologize for the less than thrilling posts lately... its the end of the quarter and i'm trying to finish up my finals.... after june 16 i will be writing some additional posts on my activist work around HIV/AIDS, as well as some other interesting stuff ;-)... so stay on the look out!
