Aggravating

I hate being unprepared. I mean really hate it.

I had a meeting last night, the second Breast Cancer meetup and got home about 9:30. I hadn't slept well the night before so went to bed early. A big mistake.

I woke up and started to get dressed to run, but couldn't find a long sleeve shirt so grabbed a way, way to hot sweatshirt, didn't have my hair in a pony tail, forgot to set my watch to track the time and was late getting out the door. It was just starting out to be a crappy, crappy run.

I did it backwards starting with loops down Grant and Pelican and then around the cemetery for a total of 2.16 miles with a 13.43 pace.

I like running early, early. No one is up and moving, the air is mine, the roads are mine, only the occasional kitty is out to say hello. I prefer to be out the door by 4:30 and home by 6. That gives me about 6 miles. This morning was a chore and not much fun. Tonight I'll make sure my iPod is loaded and charged, I have a long-sleeve shirt, my watch is set, ponytail holders at the ready and then the run tomorrow will be a good one.
