Another crazy day that isn't yet over.
You know that feeling you get when you KNOW you are forgetting something? I got that feeling as I was preparing for my run this afternoon. I just knew I was going to get to the lake and discover I had forgotten something, so I did a double check before I left the house. In my running bag: Shuffle, earbuds, Garmin, heart rate strap. Check. Outside my bag: Water jug. No, I apparently had everything, so I hoped I was just wrong.
No such luck. I had just about gotten to the lake when I discovered that somewhere between the house and car, I managed to lose my water jug. No big deal. I'd just run by the Kroger next to the lake and get a bottle of water from the machines with the $1.25 I managed to scrape together in my car.
Except the water bottle button I pressed was having an identity crisis and gave me a Diet Dr. Pepper instead. At least it was diet, I suppose? Nothing like sticky sugar residue in your mouth on a hot day...
So yeah. 8.12 miles* in 85 degree weather with a pit stop for lukewarm Diet Dr. Pepper. Yay. I knew it was time to stop when I started looking forward to running into the 20mph winds because it helped support my upper body. And now - a whiskey and Diet Dr. Pepper for my post run treat, a much needed shower, and dinner out.
*It was supposed to be 10 miles, but I figure the nearly 2 hours of tennis playing I did this morning should count for at least 2 miles, so I cut it short. On the plus side, I double bageled some poor lady on the court this morning. I suppose I should feel badly about it, but...I'm not in a nice mood right now. I'm just tired.
