Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
(But thankfully not a very big one)
Took the 2.2 mile jog from our hotel to the Amherst campus at a fairly chill pace, punctuated with mad dashes across the highway whenever the sidewalk ended. Eventually gave up and bushwhacked my way through some roadside wilderness until interstate strip mall wasteland finally gave way to a row of cute candy-striped victorians, and at long last the campus itself. Circled around the grounds for a while, aesthetically pretty hard to beat unless you've just been to Middlebury, whoops. Then ran around town, nice balance of quaintness and college quirk although there's not all that much of it. Passed a building labeled "Liberty Income Tax" on my way back, how have they not been tarred and feathered, isn't this Massachusetts??
(not sure how far I ran around down there so this is just an estimate, also increasing my mileage guess from yesterday bc 4 miles felt very short- actually feeling better than I expected for once (!))
