Running

I've recently taken up running again. Well, so in High School I ran track. Mile, 800m and sprint hurdles. However, I developed a bad case of shin splints so by my Junior year I switched to swimming which worked out a lot better. I missed running. So, my friend Laura said, "hey I'm doing the Angel Island Run." Well it's an 8k (~5 miles). No big deal right? The first 2 miles were up hill. That was hard. Coming down the next 3 miles weren't so bad. I ran faster than I normally would have because I was running away from an old man who was hawking lugis every 8 secs. and it made me want to throw up from the sound. I think at one point "ew gross" might have spilled from my lips. So, the faster I would run.

Jared ran the 25k. He actually ran more than he was supposed to because he took a wrong turn, but of course he came in first. "Yeah, I really haven't been running much lately, just like 10 miles or so at the most," is what Jared has to say.
