Saturday I was supposed to meet a friend to run. I got up early to get in a few miles beforehand and then meet her at 10. I only ran 1 mile before because the legs were feeling heavy, had breakfast, relaxed. Got to the park we were meeting at around 9:55. At 10:05 I sent her a text asking if she was there (maybe I just didn't see her), nothing. At 10:15 another text saying I was going to start running short loops, but stay near the parking lot to see her. Kept running back to the car to check the phone. At 10:25 I get text from her saying she lost track of time. I told her at that point to not worry about coming. A little after 10:30 she called and said she actually had an appointment in the morning, but was still on her way and was just going to run whether or not I was there. I left at 11 and she still wasn't there. How can you be an hour late and not think to tell the person you were meeting....What was I supposed to just sit in my car for an hour twiddling my thumbs?...
Needless to say Saturday's morning run didn't work out the way I planned. I completed just under 4 miles.
Sunday went much better. I met up with Lauren at River Legacy Park. It was a BEAUTIFUL day and almost too hot. Such problems to have in November. I again got there early to get in a few miles before. Managed to get in 3.5 before my watch died (oyy!!). Thankfully I knew one route that was 1.5 miles. I managed to get in 5 miles before Lauren showed up (10 min early - thank you!!). We just went on an easy 4 for a total of 9 for the day.
One thing in Texas is we don't get a long fall. The leaves had just changed and some were falling and tons of people were out and about. One of the prettiest runs I have been on in a long time.
