FIT:
Megaloop> PR: 22:18!!! (about 7:41/mi) HR 160-170, 170-190. Oh man, I so didn't feel like running as I went out. I had planned on taking a rest day after yesterday's stairmaster + abs. It was hot (heat index 101 degrees at 630pm), and my arms were not sore but feeling sapped of energy from yesterday's strength training. But I've seen time and time again, if you just go out anyways, you'll end up suprising yourself. Once you get going, you'll start thinking "let's just get this over with, keep charging forward." And the good feeling you get afterwards is amplified by the knowledge that you originally weren't going to run at all.

You know you're a runner if:
If you wash your "lucky" running shirt one more time, it'll disappear.
You almost wish that a pickpocket would grab your wallet so that you could chase him down.
48 degrees is the perfect temperature.
You think that same watch goes with any outfit you own.
You hate walking up steps.
If you are ever bored while at an event and you start checking your resting heart rate.
Racing is the only reason good enough to shave your legs.

Other Stuff about Me:
I get a high from the smell of the gym and unwashed soccer bags.
I've tried to take a nap while running at XC practice (close eyes for 10s, peek to stay on course, repeat).

FUN:
Working on The Notebook's main theme on piano
