It was beautiful on Monday. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and the temperature finally broke the 70 degree mark. I know Oregon very well though and was sure it was going to go back to doom and gloom by Tuesday (surprise, it did), so I put the books down for a little bit and went for a run around campus.
The NCAA National Track and Field Championships are at Hayward this week, so they've been setting up for the past week. By tomorrow, the track will be filled with people who can easily run laps around me.
I decided to run up Hendricks Park since I was in the area. Anyone who hasn't run Hendricks Park before, it's slightly punishing, especially when you're running straight uphill and your body hasn't adjusted to the "heat" (I realize low 70s isn't sweltering, but when you're used to running in 50 degree + weather, 20 degrees is a noticeable difference). It was a sweaty run.
Nothing but hills and trees from here on out...
Up, up, up...
The urge to go to Prince Puckler's afterwards was slightly overwhelming, but I was sweaty and there was a crowd...
I hope the sun comes back soon...
