today's run, in photos.

today was so lovely here, i decided to do my interval run outdoors.

join me, will you?

here's where it all begins: the end of my driveway.

(although today, it began by wrestling the recycling to the curb, but that's neither here nor there...)

then, trudge with me through the waist-high grass, and pass the swarming with bees pretty bushes

cross the street (and look both ways!), sprint so you don't get hit by a semi-truck, pretend he didn't flick you off, and power-walk the 1/3 mile to the track.

take a picture of yourself mid-stride, looking quite demonic, while trying to channel your inner ashley.

and fail.

try to not make eye contact with the state trooper in the parking lot, and hurrah!

we have reached our destination.

on the other side of the fence...

this is actually where i went to high school.

but i didn't see the track very much, if you know what i mean.

the workout for today:

1/2 mile warm-up jog

running drills

2 miles running straight parts of track, jogging curves

10 minutes running the bleachers (blehhh!)

1/2 mile cool-down jog

the boys cross country team was there warming up, and i tried to stay out of their way.

after my run, however, the coach walked up to me and said, "could you run here everyday during practice? all of a sudden, my boys seem to have found the motivation to sprint..."
silly boys :)

follow it up with a very cool, collected picture of yourself you'd be proud to post on the internet.

check.

while you're sucking air like it's your job, conveniently use this time for a photoshoot.

and my feet, since i know you're dying to see those...

the road less traveled.

no seriously, no one uses this.

laugh as you defy the sign, in plain sight of the state trooper.

livin' in the edge here, folks.

take a picture of your street the one second it doesn't have billions of cars on it.

you know you're home when you can see the bees bushes.

woah, these grew fast.

props, mom!

sometimes, VA isn't a bad place to live...

and we're done!

hit the showers, ladies.

have you moved your body today?

what's your favorite form of movement?
