Hitting the Hills of Jersey...

Today was the day for my long run and since I have made plans to prepare for the IVS Half-Marathon I decided to throw in some hill work for fun. It was the first time I have done the route in quite some time, so, there were a few things I noticed/thought about.

  • That guy still parks his Mitsubishi Montero at the bottom on the first hill.
  • That house by the intersection still has the life size version the NASCAR driver in the upstairs window so I know where to turn on the way back.
  • Saw some thoroughly flattened road kill that was unidentifiable (luckily no smell)
  • Saw a condom on the side of the road.
  • That house near the turn-around point still has the garage boarded up.
  • Wow, I can tell I haven't done this in a while.
  • Random thought: I don't need the whole thing, do you want to share a GU?*
  • I have some friends with the last name of Cheek and I think it would be funny to get a picture with me between them. And then, tell people "I AM NOT AN A-HOLE BETWEEN TWO CHEEK'S."

Overall it was: good run, good hills, good hurt. Can't wait for more.

*Didn't really ask someone this. Just a thought...
