Another 4 miles in the neighborhood.  It's dark when I first head out but I know where the holes are in my street.  I guess I will have to get the headlamp out pretty soon.  My laptop took a poo so I couldn't download my Garmin info.  Boo hoo!

I was busy being a hostess for my in-laws Fri and Sat so I didn't get a chance to run.  They left today at 7am and I couldn't wait to head out.  

AP:  9:48  Ran Rosewick Rd which has pretty serious hills.  Slowest mile 10:15 (hill), fastest mile 9:16.

Didn't get out for my run until noon.  A little more humid than I expected but at least it was cloudy.   Lots of rain heading our way so I figured I'd better get out while it was still dry otherwise I might need QP to come rescue me with her pirates ship.

Rain Rain Go Away...Come Again another Day.

It has not stopped raining...schools closed today because roads washed away.  I tried to go see my grandson and 3 major highways closed; Route 301, Route 4, and Ritchie Hwy.  My daughter had to lead me by phone through back roads without streams or rivers nearby.  

Went spinning this morning  o^o

Was supposed to run 13 today but everything that could go wrong, did.  

1.  Phone did not charge,  therefore died and I overslept.

2.  Went to get niece and realized I forgot my watch so went back home to get it.

3.  Niece got on bike and back tire was flat.

4.  Tried small compressor but had wrong attachment.

5.  Tried my husbands compressor and it wouldn't come on  (until I beat it with a hammer). 

6.  Got tires filled and my watch then 1/2 mile into drive, realized I forgot my water.

7.  Went back for water then 1/2 mile into drive, car started sputtering and light came on.

8.  Made it back home and decided perhaps I will go for a bike ride instead.

9.  About 1/4 mile into bike ride my watch died.

Good news is we survived the bike ride.  We had one scare when we were crossing the road and my nieces handlebar cover came off and she fell forward, almost crashing in the road.

School was cancelled again yesterday because of the flooding (10" of rain).  Several local roads are completely washed away or damaged.  Whole neighborhoods are cut off and need water brought in.  My husband is in the National Guard and he was activated to assist.  I also heard the rail trail was washed out too.  Maybe all these glitches this morning was "carma" saying...Don't get on the rail trail !!!!

Beautiful morning for a run.  Temps in the 50's, overcast and no humidity.  It was so cool this morning,  the tadpoles were huddled together in a puddle and looked like a giant black wiggly mass.  I was wishing I had a net and a bucket to scoop up a few for my classroom.  

My AP: 10:14.  I felt really good through the whole run.  It was nice to go slow and steady and pass that 13 mile mark.  I feel like I'm ready for my 1/2 on October 2nd.  Now I need to start getting mentally ready for my full in November.

Feeling like a snail this morning.  10:33 pace.  Still felt good to get up and out.  

I think someone threw something at me from a car this morning.  Didn't hit me but I heard something hit the road behind me when a car passed.  Can't believe how stupid and hateful some people are.

Foggy morning.  I scared a dog when my headlamp shined on him.  Never seen a dog run that fast.

Humid morning.  Felt very slow and sluggish, guess it could have been the heat.

3 miles on jello legs.  Every step takes tons of effort.  Think I'm going to rest tomorrow.
