the anticute

What a great run today. Though I wonder how accurate my speed was. I ran with Jasmine to the dog park on the other side of downtown, and she got to play with a great dane puppy. This is literally the only dog that Jasmine has ever gotten annoyed at — she even barked and nipped at him, but I think they had fun “playing.” Jasmine still had enough energy to trudge through four more miles after that and we ran towards Allen Parkway and back through downtown.

I’ve just finished Born to Run so I’ve been focusing on being more zen with my running instead of trying to drown out the pain with music or distractions. So today I had a really good run, sans music, taking in the scenery and making up the route as I went along. It worked out well. My legs weren’t in any pain. The only annoyance was a small blister on my arch that seems to pop up every time I run more than four miles.
