Uphill with a backpack

October 6, 2018 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
After a long day of interviews, I decided to run home rather than take a taxi so that I'd have more time for running. Actually, this decision formed in my mind after several failed attempts to find a taxi. But anyhow... I had my laptop, notebook, and a change of clothes stuffed in my backpack, while though not ideal for running, was actually better than an almost-empty backpack since the weight kept it from bouncing around. Ran up and down the hills on the other side of town, exploring new areas. My legs definitely felt the extra weight, but I was proud of myself for not shying away from the hills and for making the run longer than it needed to be to get home. All in all, a fun night.
