Well, it was a gorgeous day here today. Finally. The short but violent thunderstorms we had last night took away the last of the humidity, and left the day sunny and bright. It was the kind of day where you look out a window and everything is just CRYSTAL clear and the sun is so brilliant that you have to squint the minute you get outside. I was jonesing to get out all morning, and then work got crazy until finally I just said ENOUGH. And went and did my run. I hadn't gotten a chance the last three days, and I refused to let it go another day. So I went out during lunch and the frustration from work carried over to my run, causing me to run faster and more furious than usual. It felt great, until about halfway into the run when I realized that the rest of the run was mostly steep uphills. Ugh. My legs felt like lead and despite the cooler temps I was getting overheated, but I made it back without stopping!

Then stupid me decided to not do my usual cool-down because I was rushed to get back to my desk, and got a shower as usual. So now I'm sitting at my desk with cold chills running down me and I'm still sweating and its gross.

Lesson learned: ALWAYS take time to cool down properly.
