Only 11

Today I didn’t get a chance to complete my entire 18 mile run. I only ended up running about 11 miles. The last two nights have been long ones. Friday we went to the Akron soccer game and went out to dinner/ drinks afterwards and didn’t end up getting home until like 2. The on Saturday we went to the Circus which was the coolest thing I have even seen, I mean it’s not every day you see elephants walk on their back legs and do handstands. After the circus we again went out to dinner so didn’t get home until like 11:30 and after I walked Omar it was after midnight, which is not normal for me to have two late nights in a row.
When I got up in the morning around 7:30 to take out Omar I knew I would be needing a nap shortly afterwards so around 10 I took my nap. Once I got up around 11:30 I felt very refreshed and ready for my run. The only problem was that my Toledo team was playing a game at 1 and I wanted to be home to watch it on the computer (yes I know I am lame). So when I started my run at 12:15 (I needed to let out Omar before I ran), I had planned to do the entire 18 miles. About 3 miles into my run it started to drizzle and the wind picked up. Knowing I was doing such a good job this week on running I was convinced to continue running in the rain.
This is when I decided to change my course so I was still always within 3 miles from my house in case it rained too hard or got extremely cold on my run. For my run I ran through majority of the neighborhood on my side of town. I went through Tucker’s all of the little streets on Liberty and then went over to Solon Rd where I did one neighborhood over there. When I was on Solon Rd I my feet started getting wet and I was afraid of getting blisters, I was also getting very curious about the Toledo score. So I decided that this would be a wonderful time to head on home. When I got home the score was tied ( 2-2) which was not good because they needed a win to win the conference. With about 20 minutes left the got the win, and another team lost which mean that the won the conference which is VERY exciting!
I plan on doing one of two extra miles tomorrow to make up for the miles I missed today. Hope your run tomorrow goes well!
OH YEAH I DIDN’T HAVE MY IPOD SO I HAVE TO RUN IN SILENCE.
