Maps

Maps and I have a very special relationship. So special that, when my computer started playing "Maps" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs earlier, it immediately broke me out of the my-brain-is-numb-from-too-much-reading slump. Maps are magical. This spring would not have been the same without them. And I'm pretty sure they've helped out other people at one point or another. Maps rule. Which is why it's only natural that I'd want to add them to my blog.

Plus, I think as the previous post demonstrates, pictures add a whole new dimension to Life Ain't A Track Meet. Please view the map below to see today's run.

It was one of the hilliest five miles I've experienced in a while. Brutal. The worst part by far was Jamaicaway's terrible hills. By that point, I was ready for the run to be over so my mind wasn't really in the game anymore and my lungs were less than thrilled. But I put in the extra effort at the end and finished strong. I was pleased with myself. And it was brilliant to hang out with Padmani afterward.
