Day 24

My time: 36:41

I had to wait to run again today, and unfortunately after running a half mile, it started lightning and I had to stop and wait to run the other 3 miles. So while writing this I just got back from running and it is 10:15. I felt bad about not running the 3.5 miles all at once, so I just started over. I guess I'll just consider the extra .5 a warmup.

It stopped raining by the time I ran the 3.5, but there was still lightning flashing every 5 seconds. It was kind of pretty though, and far enough away that I didn't have to worry about being struck :) I DON'T recommend trying it though, cause you never know! Also, huge shout out to my wonderful mom for driving ahead of and behind me the whole 7 laps around the neighborhood so I wouldn't get hit by a car in the dark. You are appreciated. 

And since today is Father's Day, I want to thank my dad very much for being a huge supporter with everything in general. Not to mention all the great running advice he gives me when we run together. I love you.

I have a funny story. Funny for everyone but me, that is. Something really horrible happened tonight during my run...I think I might have swallowed a bug. I was running, it was dark...and some sort of gnat flew into my throat. I think I coughed and hacked it out but I'm not too sure. Either way, it was gross. You can laugh at me now.

Will you please donate today? It would just make me and many others so happy.
