French Bread Pizza

I finally went running for a substantial distance for the first time since Pittsburgh (so like three weeks). By substantial I mean three miles without stopping. I'm finding motivation to run hard to come by. I guess I just need to find some races to train for and get excited about. That being said, I've got at least two planned for the summer:

June 20: The Jeff Kerns Memorial 5K in Bellefontaine

August 20something: The Pemberville 5 Miler. My favorite race of all time.

I'm looking for more 5 and 10Ks to run, and I think I might do another half in the fall. Training is going to be difficult though because I'm working at a summer camp.

Anyway, last night I ran three miles around town. It felt great. I love running around Pemberville. Say what you want about small, midwest towns, but I haven't ran in many other better places.

Unfortunately, I ran about an hour or so after I ate dinner — french bread pizza and pumpkin soup. Definitely felt that on the run. Still, I pushed hard and I think I ran about high 7s or low 8s. I need a watch.
