I thought I was running 4 today. I'd even mentally run the route a few times during the day just so there wasn't much required in terms of thinking by morning (oh, yes ... I do that seeing as I'm not always alert when I head out!). I was just about to answer him when I wandered over to my revamped (and, you might recall, pen-and-paper-high-tech system) schedule to find out I was slotted for three!! WAHOO!!!! That was a very happy surprise ... and, I'm so glad I checked!! You see, in between times I'd mentally run my route during the day, I also considered just making it a long weekend and skipping today. I felt perfectly justified in doing so, but having the year-end goal kept me on track. As that goal is dependent on every day I've scheduled, I wasn't interested in starting the schedule by already having to make up miles to hit the goal!
So, miles checked last night; miles run today!
The temperature this morning was in the upper 70s (a very quick, downward shift from yesterday), and with the sun behind some clouds, I could take my canine pal!! Hooray! It was still quite humid out; the clouds made it possible to take her and for it not to be totally miserable for me. The clouds also raised a wee bit of concern, though:
I was intrigued. At first, I was alerted at the storm-blue of the sky, but I swapped that for being fascinated by the white clouds billowing in front of the storm clouds. |
One layer of clouds concerning; one layer non-threatening. Seriously! Pick one! |
Another mile later, it went darker in the gray zone. Run. Faster. |
In fact, ultimately, there was no issue. It never rained. It just passed on by. I don't get it.
I also don't get how the end of my pony tail gets soaked.
The revamped schedule is in full swing which includes a Rest Day tomorrow! Whee!! A day off all the way around!! Enjoy your extended weekend, and we'll check in tomorrow!
