Tonight, I ran. Usually that's not a big deal. I run every Monday night. But tonight I ran 8.14 miles. I don't know how I did it. I started running at 6p and it was 60 degrees and rainy. It was perfect! I didn't care about the rain or the temperature. I dressed for it and I was fine. I got done running, ended my workout on Nike+ and Lance Armstrong was in my ear saying Lance: "Congratulations you have run your farthest distance yet!" Me: "Thank you, Lance!" I still don't know who the first lady was in my ear back in August.
And I saw her again! The doe! I was running on the side path, didn't see anything. I came out of the side path and running towards Rt. 23 and then I see 3 deer. The doe, her fawn (only bigger this time) and they had company this time! Since I was wearing my rain jacket I put my phone in my pocket before I left (in case I fell on wet pavement or something). So I'm struggling for my phone, still running towards them, I couldn't get the zipper undone, kept getting stuck on the fabric because it was soaked by this time. They scampered off the bike path and I'm like darn it, I didn't get it. I paused my workout, stopped, got out my phone finally and looked through the woods and saw one deer. I snapped a picture. :-) You can barely see the deer but I got it!
I have added several Nike+ widgets to the About Me section of MySpace. I signed for challenges that they have on their site. I think it'll be fun. Strange ones like Carnivores vs. Vegetarians (veggies are winning); The Office Challenge - you pick a character and the amount of miles you run will count towards that character; I picked Jim. I joined one that is Apple vs. Microsoft vs. Linux. I picked Microsoft. That one doesn't start until October. Then I have real ones like Fastest 10k run. Which is soo not going to be me but I'll try. I also added a goal for myself of running 55 miles in a month, 28 days. That was a while ago. With my unexpected mileage today, I am far ahead of schedule! Anyway, they're on my page.
Saturday's are my long run. Last Saturday I only ran 6.4 miles. I wanted to run 8. I couldn't do it. I started late(r) and it got to be too warm. I was feeling down because of it. But tonight was something else. It turned me around and now I must tuck it in my memory to pull it out when things are bad again. I was so happy, I immediately called Brother John and told him. Then my dad. Then my other brother David! Finally emailed my running list to get their opinion. I was kinda afraid that I might have done damage or something.
Anyway, I'm all excited. I should be able to sleep well tonight. Muscles will be a little sore but that's why tomorrow is a rest day! :-)
