My Run

I ran from Golf Mill area to Old Orchard Mall. I got lost in a neighborhood in Glenview and ended up overshooting my destination. Therefore, I ran and walked a total of 6 miles today. That is the furthest that I've ever gone on foot I think. I began to appreciate cars.

I said I got lost in a neighborhood in Glenview. Well it wasn't any neighborhood, it looked like a separate village. Mansions aligned next to roads without a sidewalk, nestled in between trees and conifers. It seemed like I was walking through a large national park with houses sprinkled through it. It was wonderful. I prayed that I could live in one of these houses. I also saw many wildlife like dragonflies, squirrels, and robins. It was beautiful.

I made my destination Old Orchard Mall because my boyfriend worked today at his office for Blue Cube (plug for a great advertisement company). After I finally got there after one and a half hours. My knees were sore, I was sweaty, and my skin was peeling. During the last stretch the song by Arethra Franklin "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was in my mind cuz I walked so dang long to my man...hahaha. I told him to buy my dinner cuz I was exhausted and needed replenishment. We ate at Pot Belly's. It was a cute mini-date.

The weather was amazing for such a run like this. Not like those other over 100 degrees days we've been having in Illinois. I was pumped up with adrenaline from the run and the sun's ray. I couldn't keep singing and moving around. At Pot Belly's I pointed somewhere quick and accidentally punched a woman in the face. I apologized refusely. Jung said he found it the funniest thing of today. I felt really bad, but the woman also ran into my arm as I was extending it, so it was both our faults.
