Conquering the Mall

Well HP08 did the longest run of her life this weekend and conquered the National Mall. At 5.2 miles, this was definitely a record for HP08. She did almost kill AT (HP08's boyfriend) when he decided that it would be a good idea to run to the top of "the Hill" at the very end of the run, though. It wasn't so much the hill as him saying "well I’m just trying to get us in shape." This implied to HP08 that she was lazy and a nice little battle ensued. In retrospect, HP08 believes in was more of the 5 miles and giant hill talking than actual anger, but her fire did manage to boost her through the end of the jog.
HP08 also caught a female jogger checking out AT mid run, which really made her laugh. However, it occurred to HP08 this morning that it may have been less of a check out and more of a "why are you running with that red faced girl with a tankini riding up around her middle and giant umbro shorts pulled up to her chest?"
Oh, and just for the record, if someone is running down the Mall, obviously ready to die, it should be forbidden for people to stop them and ask for directions. Uncool, little Chinese woman, uncool....
