OK - this afternoon's run won the award for the nastiest run ever. I made the mistake at work of drinking a Red Bull.  This from the person who has only ever drank one cup of cola in her life.

Came home from work and was going to do 4 quick miles before working at the temple.  .75 miles into the run I found a ward member's house for an emergency potty break.  3 more emergency potty breaks before 1.5 miles - no houses to be found.  Without providing details - lets say certain parts of my body were totally raw by the time I got home and had to shower.  

So - turned around at 1.5 miles (especially because the park potty there was closed for winter). I'll make up the other mile another day.

I am SO sorry...does at least getting the miles in count? :) My sister has told me ALL about redbull...I refuse to touch the stuff, now I'm REALLY scared. Hope the temple service went better than the run :)

It was very busy in the temple. I kept getting called into different areas to help. I think Satan does something to try and keep me from the temple each week. Four weeks ago I sprained my knee running before the temple. Three weeks ago I was out of town. Last week was my eye injury. Today was intestinal issues. I beat the booger tonight!

that sounds terrible! I will remember never to drink that stuff! Glad you made it to the Temple anyway.
