This was the run from my last day of jogging class. It was uneventful, but it was very warm. Humorously, it was supposed to be a very flat route in and around the Sylvania campus, but it began in an upward fashion, continued thusly, and pounded me for most of the "run".I alternated walking with light jogging on the prodigious hills, enjoying actual running on the downhill stretches. Most of the final push back into campus, however, was downhill, but I was so broken from forcing myself up the unplanned hills, I couldn't even sustain constant downhill running.
At one point, I was separated from my partner and had no idea where I was in relation to the school. For the most part, I go to school and come directly home. Where most of my fellow students know the neighborhood and local landmarks, I don't even know street names or general directions. When my partner turned out of view, I decided that was the perfect occasion to cease running and give myself up for dead. Then I rounded the same curve, realized I was simply approaching the school from a new direction, and picked up my pace. I even took a slightly longer route back to class, knowing it to be predominantly downhill.
When it was all over, I washed off my face, loaded up on water and juice, and enjoyed a potluck with my fellow classmates before saying goodbye for the term. I hope I got an A.
