Today's kinda long didn't go as I'd hoped. There was nothing wrong at the gym: life simply got in the way.
First off, I need to be in the office today for a call. So I
arranged with Jackie to get Carol out the door so I could leave earlier
for PF. I got there about 15 minutes ahead of my normal schedule, which
gave me time for 8 miles at race pace. A little less than I wanted to
do, but OK.
At about 6.5, Jackie called, and I snapped at her. I hate
being interrupted during a run, but I was over the line here. She had a
flat tire. So I jumped off the belt -- no cooldown, no stretching -- and
ran home. But she wasn't there, and she'd already called AAA. Argh.
A few minutes later, she came home to switch cars so she
wouldn't have to drive far on the donut. If we could have taken 5
minutes to review our options, we might have come up with a better plan.
But she was both in a rush and mad at me (rightfully), and stormed out.
So the one we worked out was for me to use the car during the day and
then for us to deal with it later. She said she'd try to take it to
Costco.
I wanted to fix things -- both the car and my screwup -- so
I revised the plan and turned into Bayshore Auto. $100 later, we'll
have a new tire tonight. But so much for getting to work on time -- try
11:15.
So to sum up: crappy workout, did wrong by my wife, and got
to work crazy late.
Miles since starting the blog: 397.9
