I've heard it said that if you don't throw up after a run, you're not training hard enough.
Today, I almost trained hard enough.
Also, the fitness center at my apartment complex is alarmingly popular at 2:30am.

Yesterday was a nice, easy 5 mile run in 58 minutes. I decided to try watching a movie while I ran. Running outside is more fun than watching a movie on a treadmill. For the future, I definitely need to use a different pair of earbuds - my ear still stings from where my sweat shorted the ones I was wearing.

It's been more than a month since the last time I ran a mile as fast as I could, so I tried it again, but this time on the treadmill. Last time, I averaged 6.8mph; this time it was 6.5mph. The amount of misery I'm experiencing right now suggests that I should probably make this a bigger part of my routine. It's really amazing how it takes longer to recover from running one mile at ~6mph than it does to actually run 5 miles at 5mph.
