Ran downtown and back. On the way out, I decided to go where the traffic lights led me so that I wouldn't have to keep pausing to wait for traffic. But on the way back, which is slighly uphill, I was more than happy to wait out the red lights :) I purposefully decided to run downhill first b/c my stomach felt a little funky this morning. I'm blaming it on the wild mushrooms we bought at the Farmers Market. After we had them in hand, and paid $6 for enough to feed 2, the seller told us they were "slightly toxic" if they weren't cooked. I think I'll stick with portobello and oysters from now on. I really like running downtown, though it can't be good for my knees, running on the sidewalks. The sidewalks, as all visitors to SLC know, aren't busy. And I seem to discover buildings I've never noticed everytime I walk or run downtown. And I really like seeing the malls being ripped apart by the back hoes. Why is it so cool to watch buildings be demolished? Since joining this site, I find myself having to think a lot more during my runs--I feel like I need to notice things so I can write about them on the blog. Anybody else feel the same way? total running time was 44:50, average pace of 9:59. |
