the low after the high
the bridge run tonight was really great. surprising really, since i was feeling so *blech*on the way out there. i ran further up the bridge than i have been before walking the rest of the up. i then ran hard down where i encountered a sidewalk closed sign with tape all around it. so i veered off and took a longer path down toward the college before turning around and running back to the bridge where i walked up again. i met hubby at the top and he turned and went back with me the rest of the way. i ran hard down, walked while i grabbed and drank my water cup, and jogged back to the parking lot. i really felt great about it. and i felt like i had been faster. even though i added a little (very little) distance on the other side of the bridge, i was almost back up to the top of the bridge before meeting up with any of the two-lappers. it also seemed like the camaraderie was very high tonight. not only did i get smiles and words of encouragement, but it seemed to be the night of the high-fives. six or seven guys wanted their hands slapped as we passed. which was nice… a bit odd and i badly wanted some hand sanitizer from exchanging sweat with so many guys… but it was a nice, uplifting gesture.
sadly, my “runner’s high” was to be short lived. i got home, turned on the tv, and discovered that showtime has been taken away from me. i am so frickin bummed about this. they play the funkiest movies but i absolutely love their shows. i’ve been counting down the days to dexter‘s new season because i’m a total dexter addict. and this season of weeds hasn’t even ended yet. and i was just getting caught up on californication. i really, really hope that it comes back in the next few days but i’m doubtful. seriously, folks, i cannot even tell you how sad i am over this.
