The plan this morning was to run out to 4800 South to pick up my car from Mike Bailey's shop, but it was raining and this particular car is not suited for wet weather so I had to figure out something else to do. In my early morning fog I even decided to lay down and try to fall asleep for a few more minutes. Didn't really work. Finally headed out the door around 6:15 with no real plan and a bad attitude.  It was raining and I was tired ... 

So I ran what can only be described as a meandering route out to the Harvard/Yale neighborhoods with lots of zigzagging and going down streets I usually don't run.  I guess mixing it up was the only way I could keep it interesting today.  It was one of those runs where you feel like you're stopping every five minutes for some dumb reason or another (bathroom, gear adjustment, etc).  As the run went on my mood improved slightly, but I still felt like BA Baracus.  I pity the fool who don't remember what BA stands for!
