Pete's Log: oh man... GOOD run

Entry #540, (Sports and Athletics)
(posted when I was 22 years old.)

Wow. So I decided to go for a quick two mile run. Nothing special. Well, after running my usual two warmup laps, I decided to add a few more stretches to my normal routine. And wow, my muscles haven't enjoyed a stretch like that since high school. They felt so good. So I decided I couldn't waste such a good stretch on a mere two miles. So I ran four miles in 45 minutes, nice and slow, feeling completely at peace. It was wonderful. But after those four miles I decided to pick up the pace and ran another mile in 8 minutes, for a grand total of five miles in 53 minutes. It felt really good. And apparently my metabolism has switched into a higher gear recently, because 1. I've been constantly hungry for the past several days and 2. I've apparently lost four pounds over the past five or so days. Insane.
