burned

[marathoner452]

Aw geez. Stupid me decided not to wear sunscreen while running 12 miles under a cloudless sky with no shade at high noon. So now I have a brilliant sunburn, mostly on my face, arms and shoulders. Sleeping tonight is going to be an interesting proposition.

When will I learn that sunburn really really hurts before it actually happens?

On the bright side, I ran 12 miles and realized that church is only a shade over 6 miles from campus. I'm seriously considering running up there next Sunday-church doesn't start 'til 11, and it would be fun to see the looks on people's faces when I told them I ran all the way from St. Mary's to Lexington Park. Car? What car? I don't need a car. :p

Also on the bright side, I'm up to 46 pages on my SMP. I'm also realizing that my St. Mary's Emancipation section is better than I thought and doesn't need that much revising to be presentable. That's good because the two slavery sections are still a mess and need a lot more work before I feel good about them.

Okay, back to work. Hopefully they won't find anymore bombs/fallen light fixtures on campus and I can actually get my work done.

My grandparents live not too far from Detroit and I visit them for a couple weeks every summer, so I know what you mean. I ran the Run Thru Hell last year though, and that was pretty scenic-good thing 'cause the hills were insane!

And the UP is gorgeous. That was my family's vacation last year.

I don't envy your team's butt-kicking next week. :p

Wow...let me know the next time you're coming into the area. We'll go for a run. Run Thru Hell is rough--I ran it 2 years ago, but it's a fun race. My favorite Michigan race is the Crim 10-mile.

And I will agree with you about the UP...it is gorgeous up there. Down here by the border, however, it's all farmland. (I live in Jackson, about an hour from the Ohio border.)

I don't think I envy them either. ;-)
