I walked to the bank and post office (1.35 miles), and followed that up by running figure-eights through the neighborhood streets (3.65 miles). The run was pretty automatic thanks to my thoughts (i.e. worries/concerns) about working with the medical response team at tonight's football game against UNLV. As an EMT student with only a MINIMAL amount of knowledge, I did not have a clue what I would encounter or be expected to do. The run was a good outlet to level me out since I was not sitting around letting the anxiety mount. Figure-eights add at least a mile to the normal route I take, and there are some slight uphill and downhill sections as I run east and west, respectively. Overall a good relaxing morning, and the game turned out ok too. |
