Today's run was a bit tough to fit in and I was not able to get in all of the miles on the schedule. Traveling today to Viriginia/DC area with Jessica and her kids. Woke up at 4:45 and started running at 5:01. Out through the south entrance of Westlake, left onto Nebraska and then left onto Belcher until it was 5:30 then turned back. Back in the door before 6:00.
Wanted to leave at 6:45 and absolutely no later than 7:00. Should have been 6:30/6:45. Actual time pulling out was about 7:05, horrible traffic, arrived at the airport just after 8:00. Split up, Jacob and I went to check our one big bag and told Jessica to take the girls to the gate. We'd missed the 45 minute checked back cut off, gate agent said we'd have to go standby on next flight (via Charlotte). I probably should have had Jacob get on the flight with Jessica but at least we all didn't try and go standby, would not have worked. Jacob and I did get on the Charlotte flight as the last two standby seats. We did not get on the Charlotte-DC flight standby (our ranking on the list would separate and as more important people got on the list we were pushed down the list). Almost didn't get on the flight after that also, but fortunately for us they had to switch to a larger plane. But the plane switching caused a delay and then there was weather rolling through. We made it eventually to DC only to be greeted with the worst car rental check in line I've been in, so another hour or so. Arrived at the hotel a little after 9:00pm.
We missed the dinner and Friday night service but did get a chance to hang out with John's friends and family in the hotel restaurant. And, I almost ended up with a running partner for my 20 mile run. John's friend's girlfriend training for Chicago and needed to do 20 and was also good with the pace I wanted.
So, kind of a crazy day, glad I got some running in first thing in the morning rather than trying to get any miles in after getting to the hotel.
