Arrrrrrriba!

I showed up at the track that I had intended on running at only to find that a middle school girls track meet was going on. I was half tempted to stay and just watch, because it looked pretty exciting and everyone was cheering alot, but I asked one of the parents if there was another track close by, so I went to the opposing team's track since obviously it was empty. Things were going fine until the middle school boys team got back to the school. They were just waiting there until their parents came to pick them up and I must have been the most exciting thing around, so they started yelling things at me in Spanish - the only word I could pick out was "arriba" (with a very nice trill on the "rr's")! (And for those of you who were concerned for my safety - Nathan - it was mostly light out while I was running.)

10 x 400 at target pace of 1:30-1:35 (I think?) - 1:42, 1:48, 1:52, 1:49, 1:46, 1:50, 1:51, 1:56, 1:55, 1:54

Other noted items for the day - I got Sex & the City - Season 6, Part 2 at a pawn shop (John Smith really wanted to check one out b/c there are a lot around here) and I had my first crawfish (they are just coming into season down here).

haha - nice one. Also, crayfish - hm, sorry but I just can't eat them...I used to catch way too many when I was little in a little section of the woods we named "Crawdad bay".
