Run: 8 mi
------------------------------------------------------
Run--HOLY FAZOLI!!!! 5 PR's IN ONE NIGHT!!!! The workout was 4 x 1 mi (and I threw in an 800 for good measure). Each mile I ran was totally a new PR, and so was the 800! (Old PR's were 6:47 and 3:06.) AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! How cool!!!! Then the team celebrated with pizza and beer afterward.
Totally Bummed--I have had a slew of doctor's appointments over the past few days for various things. One was an eye appointment because I thought my pinguecula was flaring up and driving me batty. Turns out it's the fact that my eyelid is allergic to its own proteins. Therefore I can't wear any contacts in that eye anymore. AND my left eye finally needs a prescription too (and also has pinguecula). I am totally bummed that I can't wear contacts. A LOT of what I do depends on the fact that I got away with not wearing glasses. I also had to bite the big ones and buy new glasses. I am looking forward to being able to see again though. I also had 3 shots and blood drawn today! BAH! I am really sad about my eyes though... But it can't overshadow 5 PR's!!!!!! YESSSSSSS!
