The National Aquarium

I went for an early run this morning on fatigued legs (and hereby assert that maybe leaving only twelve hours between two runs isn't the best planning). The run was followed by an ice pack to my shin, a hot shower, a good breakfast of Fage yogurt and fruit, and a trip with Steph and her parents to the National Aquarium, in Baltimore and home to lots of critters!




I was most fond of a totally spastic puffin who burst in and out, underneath and across the water like a piece of popping corn. His speed, an endearing aspect of his performance, made it nearly impossible to get a clear picture, especially from behind the glass.

I enjoyed watching the turtles, too, and they were more my speed. It looks like this guy might even be posing!

Time: 44 minutes
Place: Hilly Quarry
Weather: Cold Rain (42)
Distance: 4 miles
Feeling: Pulling 500 pound weights with me for each leg
Overall grade: C
