Total Distance

11.31

I thought the route I picked would get me somewhere between 13 and 14 miles. I was wrong, and thought maybe I'd finish up and make it 13 after I got back in the 'hood- but the last mile home the rain started coming down. I thought for a while about how tough RAD and Terri were last week running in the snow, sleet, and cold. I thought to myself, "if they struggled through the horrible elements, I can try too!" I thought that until I got to the driveway and ran into the garage where it was dry and warm. MR was waiting for me and thought it was silly to go out another 1.7 miles. I gave up my resolve to finish and went in for a warm shower.

Sorry RAD and Terri- I'm just not as tough as you gals are! 54 degrees and rain took me out of the game. I did manage a 1 and a 3 in my numbers, so there was a 13 there for 2013 either way. Happy New Year Y'all!

You did a lot of thinking this morning.

Burt- I think you're right

I can't tell you how many times I've done that!!! A new route is worth a shorter run :) Happy New Year!

I don't think I could have passed up my house ... beckoning a warm shower. Still a great run! Happy New year!

Pretty good start to the new year if you ask me!
