A very busy morning today!<\/p>\n

I had scheduled a Dr. appointment for this morning at 9:30. \u00a0Tuesday is a light running day for me so I figured I could wake up 7:00(ish), run a few miles and then head on over to Starkville, Mississippi, (a 30 minute drive) and get there with plenty of time to spare. \u00a0Plans have a way of changing.<\/p>\n

The Dr office called me yesterday. Yes, my appointment was for 9:30 BUT, they wanted to do a breathing test on me. \u00a0Seeing as this appointment was for a “Sports physical” for the Berlin Marathon, they wanted to do this test to make sure I was tip top.<\/p>\n

#UGH.<\/p>\n

They wanted me there at 9:00. \u00a0That would give them time to draw my blood, run the labs AND give me the breathing test before my 9:30 appointment.<\/p>\n

I know it was only a 30 minute difference, but that 30 minutes meant that I had to be running at 6:00 am instead of the “leisurely” morning I had planned. \u00a0Nothing to do but to set the alarm for 5:45.<\/p>\n

The alarm went off and I got up. \u00a0I threw on my running clothes and “posed” for a pic. \u00a0MFH took the pic and I bounded out the door. \u00a0I had to make up .55 of a mile to make up for the distance I lost yesterday due to the weather. \u00a0I also had to add another 5 onto the .55. \u00a0Haha! \u00a0All of that confusion to say I had to run 5.55 miles today.<\/p>\n

It was pouring!!! \u00a0Holy Cow! \u00a0So much rain! \u00a0No thunder or lightening so away I went. \u00a0By the end of the driveway, I was soaked. \u00a0Skin is waterproof. \u00a0No big deal. \u00a0Away I splashed.<\/p>\n

After about .30 of a mile, I realized that this was fun! \u00a0Although I usually have toast and coffee before I run, this morning I couldn’t. \u00a0I had been ordered to fast for my blood work. \u00a0I hadn’t had anything to eat\/drink since 6:00 last night. \u00a0My energy levels were a tad low so my pace suffered but I had a blast!<\/p>\n

I ended up running (splashing) 5.57 miles. \u00a0It took me 1.05. \u00a0Told you it was slower than it should have been but it really was a fun, fun run!!!<\/p>\n

I crossed the 900 mile mark for the 2015 calendar year while out this morning. \u00a0Success! \u00a0Knowing I didn’t have very far to go to reach 900 miles was the reason I wanted to run today. \u00a0Call me silly but I do what I have to do to stay motivated. \u00a0HA!<\/p>\n

The bottom left had pic is my road on a sunny day. \u00a0This morning, the ditches were full and overflowing. \u00a0There was water running across the road. \u00a0It made for an interesting run today!<\/p>\n

Such a great start to my Tuesday!<\/p>\n
