OK - I didn't want to run this afternoon, but forced myself to get out the door. I had no energy when I got home from work - but that may have had to do something with the fact that I got busy with computer and database issues at work and forgot to eat regularly, so think I was only at 600 calories. I swigged down an Ensure and headed out the door. I was going to find a 4 mile route around some of the neighborhoods near where I live. Didn't quite work out how I planned. I ran along 7th East to 9400 South, then down to Trax and along the Trax line to 8000th South. I needed about 1/2 mile extra (I thought) to make my loop, so turned into what I hoped was a route behind my condo complex that would loop me around. It turned out to be a no exit subdivision and dumped me back and 1/2 mile from where I entered it. Needless to say - I got in more than I wanted or needed. Mile 1 - 11:49 - no energy Mile 2 - 11:54 - feeling a little better Mile 3 - 12:04 - tired and bummed out that I was back where I started Mile 4 - uphill - 12:16 - can I stop now? Mile 5 - more uphill and no energy - 12:30
