Half Training: Week 4
10/14 - Run 2 miles, 1 easy, 1 hard: My sister helped me find my gym near her place, sweet girl. I only obsessed to her incessantly about finding places to run for the month leading up to my visit - she's psychic...
Gotta love Snap Fitness - this location didn't have lockers, and because I was convinced the two beefy roid heads were gonna run off with my beloved Michael Kors bag I decided to run with her beside my treadmill. Like a normal person.
10/15 - Cross Train: Walking exploration of Michigan with my sis. Namely every store south of Canada, including this one.
10/16 - Run 3 miles: 3.06 miles around my sisters neighborhood - 39:16. Started off brisk, but about a mile in I warmed up and it was on like donkey kong. Till I kinda got lost.
Week 4 - short 4 miles

10/20 - Hiked, here. I thought hike meant "leisurely stroll on a paved path". But once M started putting on his hiking pants I knew this wasn't a stroll and started to hyperventilate - I LOVE the outdoors, in the absence of wildlife and insects. And since I'm attempting to ease him into my crazy, I was pretty sure we'd be broken up by the time we hit the trail if I explained how I like outside, but not the whole wildlife portion. But alas, this girl couldn't be a quitter so off we went. The hike was idyllic. Crisp morning, gorgeous clear day and not a mountain lion in sight.
Fast forward to a few hours later when I change and decide to run...that's when the lid exploded of my crazy jar. I found a tick! And it was already latched on. It was horrific. Ripped it out, declared today's run "cancelled due to ticks" and scrambled to my computer to research Lyme Disease, because I was convinced I had it. Already. What?! I didn't know how long that beast had been hitching a ride on my skin. Besides, it should come as no surprise by now that I'm the princess of dramatics with a PHD in over reaction....
Week 4 - short 4 miles
