Although the heat index was above 100 at 8 in the morning, we still ran at cross country. I biked to my high school 2.5 miles away, making a 5 mile round trip. We ran a tempo 4, i hit it in under 24:00 meaning under a 6 minute pace- very good for me. I felt like i was going to pass out- but i just kept going and i feel fine now so it's all good! After that, i was exhausted so i sat around my house for awhile until i eventually picked my girlfriend up and we swam at my house. It was very nice, very refreshing. If only the sun didn't heat the water up to 91 degrees... it would have been nicer at 85, but that's okay. We swam for a few hours, grabbed some lunch at my house, played with my dog, and then headed to her house for the kitty again. It turned into a fun night of playing with the kitty and playing Wii. We even brought the kitty outside and she loved it, it was really cool to see. Tomorrow practice is at Raceway and i will probably have to drive..but oh well. I realized, although money is nice, it isn;t everything. Sometimes it is okay to sacrifice money for convenience. i am slowly becoming less cheap, or some may say greedy... haha. Goodnight.
