Today's run was no fun. I don't know how you afternoon/after work runners do it. The weather was perfect for running. THIS MORNING. This morning, however, I went to synagogue and I stayed there until 1:30pm at which time I joined the relatives for lunch.
I don't know if it was the afternoon heat -- 84 degrees -- or the matzo ball soup, or the kugel, or the challah and honey, or the honey cake, but I had an upset stomach right from the start.
I had the Garmin set to follow a 10 mile course, but unbeknown to me, I missed a mile almost right from the start. I turned it off at a traffic light and didn't realize it until 45 minutes later! That was when I entertained thoughts of calling for backup. I'd had enough.
After I turned the timer back on, it said I'd only gone 3 miles, but aha! it told me I only had 4.25 miles to go! I can do that, I thought. I've already gone 5.75 (or so I thought). So I slugged it out, walking more and more toward the end.
I really have no idea what my time was. I'm guessing it was 9ish miles in over 90 minutes. I do know that my virtual partner smoked me. Damn computer! What does it care about outside influences?
Oh, I had my orthotics recovered, and the new cushier cover is rubbing on my foot. Now I have blisters where I've never had them before.
Can't wait for tomorrow!

You are true, after work runs when you've had something to eat...ok fine when you've had a bunch of really yummy food and it's hot out, are really not that great.
But..that being said, other days I enjoy it to work out stress.
Now..can you help me understand a little more about Rosh Hashana?
