Running by the Numbers

ALOT - The number of minutes I spent in the hot shower after my run and the amount of my sadness when I realized that my margarita flavored cliff blocks were just lemon/lime.

10 - The number of miles I ran (actually it was 9.5, but this is my blog, I can round).

9 - The number of minutes left in my run when I decided I might die and was really glad I had my id bracelet on.  This is also when I was outside my boss' apartment complex.  Could have been awkward.

8 - The number of minutes after I finished my run that the sun came out.

7 - The number of minutes left in my run when I decided that I could not wait 7 more minutes to stop and stretch my hip flexors.

6 - The number of cliff blocks I ate.

5 - The number of times I took my long sleeved shirt off/on.

4 - The number of people that beeped, whistled or otherwise talked to me (one guy was just asking for directions).  I know that I don't look stellar when running with a fuel belt, why highlight the fact by beeping/whistling?

3 - The number of times I ran by my apartment. Talk about will power.

2 - The number of times I crossed the light rail tracks and the number of times a light rail was coming.

1 -The number of bags of random abandoned oranges I saw on the ground.

Also, Hammer Gel?  SO MUCH BETTER than gu/powergel.  Try it.  You'll thank me;)
