Almost halfway through the run at Indiana Dunes (last weekend), I am pretty sure that this place is trying to kill me! I injured myself both times Hannah and I ran here. The first time we were here (a month ago), I tripped on the tree roots protruding out of the ground and fell on my face. Luckily, it wasn't too serious with just a few minor cuts on my elbow and hands. Last weekend, as we jumped over a fallen tree, I missed my step, and sustained more serious bruises on my shin - there were some deep cuts that weren't healing after a week :( . I have to admit these falls were mostly my fault for keeping the lease between Jet and me too short, and there isn't enough room for both of us to maneuver.
Well, why am I putting my "life" out there, pushing so hard? Because (in a moment of enthusiasm), Hannah and I signed up for a 50K run on end the second week of April :/ So at the moment, we are trying to keep our to our running schedule, and be prepared for the race.
Well, today is our long-run day again.. and here we go. However, upon my request, Hannah agreed that we are going to Palos instead of the "place that is trying to kill me" :). #toughen_up
