thursday night run with christina

tonight we were both exhausted after work but still managed to get out the door for the six miles on christina's half marathon training plan. i'm still not used to it getting so dark so early.
i had an altercation with a driver tonight. ever wonder why the crosswalks are painted in massive white stripes across an intersection? how about it's because that's where pedestrians are supposed to cross the road. it still never ceases to amaze me how people blow through stop signs and roll through the crosswalk before they put down their phone to look both ways. for those of you out there reading this, please take the extra half-a-second to stop before the crosswalk and make sure there is nobody crossing the road. traffic is bad enough as it is and you're not saving any time on your commute.
we were both so hungry towards the end of the run that we started discussing what to have for dinner. then, i was listening to the junks on my ipod and they were talking about steaks at the palm restaurant. really made my stomach start to rumble. i hate being hungry when i run because it's all i can think about. then i tend to get home and start stuffing myself with snacks that i either spoil my appetite for dinner or i overeat. this problem can be avoided by either running in the morning or running immediately after work. coming home from work and then running is my least favorite time of day to get it done.
