17.  Hunting Lodge

18. Beer can, beer can, beer can…5 cents, 10 cents, 15 cents…

19. I hate how there are so many cars that drive on this road. They are probably all critiquing my running form

20. Only 4 Miles Completed? This has felt like a marathon and a half! I wonder what it would be like to actually run a marathon…

21. Why do we even have this roundabout on Birch Street anyway? Why can’t there just be stop signs?

22. Stop… in the name of love, before i breaaaak your- okay. focus.

23. Was that a Wings car that just went by?!

24. Man, I’m hungry. I wonder what I should make for dinner tonight…

25. CrossFit Storrs? What would it be like to lift instead of run?

26. That could be a cool change *pictures self all muscular lifting heavy weights*

27. 6 miles!! If I did another one of these loops I can run close to a half marathon

28. Ha Ha. Maybe another day.

29. *Last Hill* *I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!*

30. This better leave me with a pretty nice booty by the time I reach the top of this hill

31. I can almost see it… that dream I’m dreaming. There’s a voice inside my head saying you’ll never reach it

32. Oh but I will Miley, I am almost there.

33. DONE!! I think I like running. I’ll do this again tomorrow.
