NO! I was not ran over by a car..............................

Just really busy and summer storms crashing my Internet service.

My favorite things about long runs are what I used to consider long runs now seem like a piece of cake.

Wednesday I went with a friend to sit while she had some outpatient surgery. Once they took her to surgery I went out and did six miles around the local college campus. When I was finished I couldn't believe how short it had seemed. Just the thought of running for an hour used be totally overwhelming to me. When I finished the run I found a bathroom and took a sink bath to get the sweat off and then changed my clothes. Ya! I got a few weird looks, but trust me I have done much stranger things in my lifetime.

Doing things like that confirm that this running thing is going to be sticking around. The old me would search high and low for a reason to avoid exercise, and justify till the cows came home all the reasons why I didn't have time to exercise. It saddens me that if I had just shut up and exercised instead of fighting it I would be that much farther ahead today. But it wasn't my time them. It is my time now.

Normally I do my long runs on Sunday's but I am doing a local 5K with (my) Mister this Sunday so I plan to get up and do ten miles in the morning. Right now I need to head out and pick up my sister from the airport which is an hour away. Her first plane was delayed and she is not a happy camper right about now. If I am late she will yell at me the whole car ride home. Not that I can blame her, but if I can avoid it I would be a fool not to do so. Right? Keep your fingers crossed that there are no more delays as I am a major crab if I am not in bed by 10:00PM.
