running

its starting to feel like school now rather than some odd place ive been living in. went with brittany to hyde park yesterday to run. I AM IN LOVE. nothing like running on all of the different paths in the expansive green next, getting to watch people with their children and dogs, people playing pick up soccer (i guess they would say futbol) matches, and other runners. doesnt even feel like exercise because i was so enthralled with everything around me. the lake there has a cute little place to stop and get food and there are touristy shops all along the permiter. my battery ran out on my ipod so we came back after about half hour there but it was amazing. went running again today just around the area here...really good run didnt stop for 40 minutes but found out that running in central london isnt really the best. for one, everyone smokes. not particularly the refreshing breath of air i was looking for. also, everyone is so crowded so i had to dash my way expertly through the masses of people. almost got hit by a flustered asian tourist trying to get on a bus. im going to try to keep going to hyde park when i have the time but during the school week running around here will have to work. did all my studying earlier today so now i have just been watching episodes of nip/tuck that ive missed out on for the past 3 weeks. and looking at victoria secret swimsuits...wishing it was warm out so i didnt look like casper.

no pictures to post...didnt really have the chance to grab a camera while i was running. sorry!

forrest gump, (run forrest run...? couldnt think of much to do with running other than julia roberts and i most certainly am not a runaway bride quite yet)
