easy run, new route

Proof that school is bad for one's health: That morning routine I had set for myself didn't work out as planned, thanks to tons and tons of paperwork I had to submit this week. Thank God that's over, for now!

So, I told myself I would go jogging after class Friday night after three days of no decent physical activity. Harroun, a friend of mine, was running as well, so we decided to run together. I was introduced to a different route, thanks to him. Though it's only a 3k trail, it was a good run nonetheless, since the path was totally new to me. There's this newly renovated area by the College of Science and I've since been wanting to experience it. It's this huge circular pathway with a road that's kinder to the knees; it's flatter and not as elevated as the acad oval. There's a lot of sky space as well, so one could see the sky's transition perfectly.

From the College of Science oval, we passed through that street heading to the Chemistry building (I am so awful with street names), turned left heading to the road where the College of Architecture is, turned right on that road and went straight into the acad oval. We did one round then headed back to the College of Home Economics.

Harroun's pace was faster than my usual; I tried to keep up for the most part, but surrendered during the last few meters. It was a good run, nonetheless.

I was thinking of running again this afternoon, going through the same route as yesterday but only extending it to at least 5k, and an 8k at most. I signed up for a 15k run set for March, which is why I am more motivated than usual to keep on running. Wouldn't want to waste P350, now do I?
