after work today, i went to lullwater park, the same one that ben and i ran at the saturday of conference. i took a back trail to get in, and dropped off my shirt and a gatorade in a grassy area that i didn't think anyone would be. had to stop and use the restroom early on, but it made for a better run. for most of the time i stayed off of the regular trails, and got to know some of the trails i hadn't run before. unfortunately, most of the trails were dead ends, one leading to the VA hospital, some to the street, one to the back of an apartment complex. it was still a really enjoyable run-- i got to see parts of the park i hadn't seen before, most of it was small trails with very few people. it was peaceful, also hilly. i've been working on using my arms to run lately, and it especially helps getting up hills. in general, i hope it'll help my form. stretched in the secret grassy area (remember this for next time), then headed home.

another thing-- i got pretty badly sunburned this past weekend, a little bit on my inner legs (i was trying to get rid of my pasty white thighs). this only made the chafing that comes with a 10-mile run in 95-degree weather worse! the rest of the sunburn wasn't a problem while running.
