Stormy Seven

I ran weenie miles this week, walk running between 2 and 4 Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I was really trying to ease into things. And I had planned to walk-run seven miles this morning. But then last night was prom (yes, prom - our penguin in the back yard friends have one every year) and we were out too late so I didn't get out this morning.

So I promised myself I'd get out tonight after MG went to bed. I wore my running clothes all afternoon to make sure I didn't talk myself out of it. And I came very, very, dangerously close to doing that. Sitting next to Andy on the tree swing after two failed attempts to get going and some serious procrastination I announced I just wasn't going to go. He said "just go."

And I did. And I ran longer than I've run in two months or so. And I had intended to walk-run it and go easy. And I did until the last two miles, when the weather turned pretty threatening. Made it pretty exciting. It was a great run. And it almost didn't happen. Ain't that the way it goes?
