AM: 5 miles -- Pedestrian Bridge to I-480 overpass and back
PM: 10.25 miles -- Leavenworth to UNO Campus to Western and back through Dundee
First two-a-day in awhile. Ran east to watch the sunrise in the morning and west for the sunset in the evening. I surprised myself with the evening run as I was shooting for 8-9 miles.
I don't know why, but sometimes when I'm running I get this weird vibe that I'm pissing people off just by being out there. Especially when it's cold and dark. Some girl driving by tonight yelling "Fuck you!" out her window didn't help this paranoia. As a runner though you're forced to shrug this sort of thing off--it's impossible to catch the person and put the hammer down. If someone yelled that at me while I was driving I'd probably go into a road rage and chase the person down. With running I've usually got an endorphin buffer going and I just laugh at it.
Tomorrow is 11/11/11 and I already have breakfast planned at the 11worth Cafe. Gonna try to get off work early so I can get in an 11 miler tomorrow afternoon. The dream is becoming a reality!
