This Saturday is my Iwannarunna 5K that I have been helping train some ladies for so I won't be able to get my long run in then. I usually take Thursday as a rest or short mile day because it is my work day and it works out well that way. However, today I had to take the day off because it is my dear friend, Lesa's, father in law's funeral and I wanted to be there for her. So since that gave me some extra time this morning I decided to get er done. I was hoping to meet one or two out at 5 and run for an hour with them before sweeping back around to pick up Tom at 6. But the rain must have scared them off. I have to admit it ran through my head a time or two to crawl back into bed also. So off into the dark, cold, rainy morning by myself. There were too many puddles and it was too dark to see them so it only took a few yards of running before my feet were soaked. I got almost 6 miles in and then picked up Tom who had a drink ready for me. Tom went 5 with me and then I finished up on my own. Didn't really care about puddles anymore, already soaked clear through from head to toe. When I got in the house my girls looked at me kind of strange and asked me "Seriously, how can you call that fun?" Anyway, it's nice to have the long run out of the way for the week. I am looking forward to seeing how my ladies will do on Saturday. I will be blogging a race report for that for their sakes. |
