It was NOT raining this morning and Jill didn't show. I admit, I got out of bed, walked outside, stood there for a few seconds and decided it was indeed raining. I went back to bed, but the draw of not letting anyone down and the desperate need to run after a week off got me back out of bed. I thought there was a big group running this morning and figured that SOMEONE would show. However, after I got all my running stuff on and check the poll I learned it was just Jill and I and as I said... she didn't show.
BUT I was sooooooo desperate for a run, I went by myself. My favorite morning worker (NOT!) - the loud radio, no muffler newspaper delivery guy - did accompany me for the first 1/4 mile. Then I spend the rest of the run trying to think of humorous, guilt ridden things I could say in my blog this morning.
It was fine, really Jill, it was. I also didn't have my Garmin (low battery - once again proving Christy's opinion of them) and NO running PARTNER so I could go on any route I wanted and at any slow pace. Of course, I didn't do a new route (didn't have the Garmin to track miles) but the pace did feel good. I even got to stop and chit chat with the walkers who, of course - unlike Jill, could tell it was NOT raining.
