I had to wake up at midnight to register for the Army Ten Miler. It sells out so quickly and MR is already registered, so I had to make sure I got in. I was so frustrated that it took nearly an hour to register because the website kept freezing up. If you're going to make me wake up at midnight, make sure you can support the level of traffic on your site so I'm not up for an hour getting cranky in the middle of the night. A cranky pirate is NOT a good thing! It took me another hour to be able to fall back asleep. So I bagged my morning workout and decided I'd enjoy the afternoon weather and get out for a run later on. But I did register. So there's one goal for the year- run the ATM in October. This afternoon, I knew I needed to run because I had to deal with Grumpy Granny on the phone at work and either I was going to run or someone would have to walk the plank. Everyone has seen gumpy cat, but grumpy granny likes to say things like, "YOU need to get your **** together" and use horrible phrases that include using every name given for deity. Look lady, your kid didn't turn in his books- don't get nasty with me- I'm a Pirate. What I hadn't planned on was it being so hot. It was 90 degrees at 5:30 in the afternoon. The only good part of today's run was the 14 mph wind. I had to run into the wind the whole first half, so on the way home it should have been at my back. Maybe it was, but I couldn't feel it at all. I had a stop a couple of times and cool off in the shade. Foot feels good. I hope it's not hot like this for the weekend.
