I was looking forward to my run yesterday. Now that it looks like I'm back on track, I am eager to get my wind back and most importantly, to get my strength back so that I can start really really enjoying my runs. So even though it was raining in the morning, it looked like it had stopped when I checked outside through my office windows, which look onto the courtyard. I changed, stretched, and headed out. Ah, but then I stepped out the door and it was raining! I did not have my hat. I was not wearing my waterproof jacket. I did know though that if I went back into the building to get my hat I most likely would talk myself out of going out at all, so I soldiered on. I did have a hood on my jacket, but without strings to hold it in place. I just kept it on as best as I could and went for an abbreviated run, turning around at 1 mile rather than a mile and a half. The good news is that I was able to run .7 miles without stopping, which is awesome considering this is only the third time out. The bad news is that I returned soaked to the bone. But clothes dry and I am very proud of myself for getting out there.
It was a busy day, all in all. It is my three meeting day. Today is my late meeting day so I am going home at 1:30 or so. And that confused me this morning so much so that I went out without my lunch. I was going to take a frozen meal for a change. No matter. I can go to the salad bar. But still ... I get confused easily at 6:30am.
My train tickets were making me crazy yesterday but I have now gotten to the bottom of the confusion and I am 99% sure I have all of my reservations straightened out. To make positive sure, I'm going to print everything out this week, if I can find the time, and make my travel book now. Then I can enjoy the month of anticipation.
My shawl that I am working on at home is going to be huge. I like big shawls though. They can be used as blankets almost. Very handy for traveling.
