Kind of a frustrating run this morning. Last night I mapped out a 15 miler (with some GREAT hills!) and was excited to try it this morning. Went with hubby and just after mile 5 he needed a potty BAD! (It is rare that this happens with him, in fact, I think only the second time, but it brought back so many memories of a certain "friend" I would run with and it was inevitable that she would need a potty on EVERY long run!) So, I got a little frustrated. We were by his office building (unfortunately, the only place we could think of with a bathroom) so made it there and I probably spent 10 minutes waiting. He felt much better after and I was chomping at the bit. :) So, we bagged our original 15 mile route (mainly because of the time) and opted for the usual route, hoping we could make up some miles somewhere in between. At about mile 12 we split up, me thinking I was only getting 13-14 miles, he wanting to do closer to the 15 we had originally planned. I made it home and "mapped my run", and lo and behold, discovered I had, in fact, done 15! I'm glad! That made me feel a little better since I was feeling like I got short changed this morning. He ended up doing closer to 16 1/2 miles. Anyway, I want to tackle that other route again sometime. I need to work on those hills. . . :)
