It wasn't supposed to be this wet!

Today I ran. I did some other things; drag curls, cat vomit, pull ups and some bench press, but the running was the main event. I ran to Maywood through Evergreen park, via the Quarry disc golf course, by traversing Eisner. I will admit it took longer than I had expected. I ran for nearly an hour and a half, about 12 miles or so if my calculations are correct. I did have to take a break; Maywood was a much muckier place than I had assumed  it would be. I ended up slipping and falling to the ground, splashed and covered with muck and mud, sandy grime. My socks got soaked and within a mile or so of exiting the puddles, I had developed quite the blister on my right foot. So I had to remove my sock, and then commenced to run back home. It was quite the ordeal, but one I look forward to repeating in the future. I felt wonderful to leave behind so much and just run, to feel the wind on my face and the heat surround me, cocoon about me. I developed a slight sunburn, adding to this weekends burn from football practice, but nothing too bad. I feel, apart from the soreness, so much better already for the run.
