Exercise Type: Run

Note: After Julia Smith gave a hard time guilt for “cheating” on my miles, I decided that “Sarajevo miles” have to go. Luckily I was generally noting the real mileage in my log, even if I was giving myself credit for more miles based on effort given the ridiculously hilly terrain. I have gone back and corrected the mileage I’m those few entries. As a compromise, I’m just going to log the time I run and not worry about the distance as long as I’m running in this ridiculously hilly city which for the next few months will often be covered in snow.

I took yesterday off after feeling worn down and sick from Sunday’s miserable too-long run in the cold aand lack of sleep. Today’s run felt really nice. It was lightly snowing and the temperature was in mid 20s when I headed out around 7:30 PM. It was totally dark but I made my way up Dariva and took a left turn up one of the side valleys I’ve run a few times which I really like. The road had a thin layer of freshly fallen snow on it. The whole run was pretty slow but at least I enjoyed myself listening to This American Life and exploring new neighborhoods in the hills.
