july 4

i hope you had an awesome july 4th!

i've been away for a minute; i appologize.

july 4 in atlanta is nuts. nuts to the tune of 60,000 people running a 10k.

it is possible to stand in one spot and watch a sea of people go by for over two hours.

the days leading up to the peachtree road race were filled with work, family visiting, and a lack of boot camp. 

boot camp will resume next week. until then, i suffer. 

er, then, i suffer. 

whatever. 

i have managed to drag my sorry carcass out of bed to run (just not in the race!) at the ungodly hour i've become accoustomed to waking- a.k.a. 5:00 am.- for some short mileage (this is disasterous for my rockstart lifestyle, btw).

immediately, i noticed a few things. 

 first, i can't breathe in this humidity/ heat for anything.

also? i'd like more red blood cells, please.

second, i'm recovering faster. seriously. (?!)

third, if i plan on keeping this up, i need more sleep. 

much more sleep.

Will run again tomorrow and report back.
