Running for 2 hours on a Friday Night...

Is NOT my idea of a good time...LMAO! I have a very busy weekend so it had to be done. I left work and chowed down a protein bar on the way home. Picked up a pizza for the boys and was tortured by the smell for the rest of the way home.

I got my gear together...it was 48 degrees so this made me happy! I only wore a pair of running pants and a long sleeve shirt. I was trying not to hate my husband who was drinking beer and eating pizza. I grabbed my garmin and ipod and was off...I just wanted to get this over with.

I always seem to forget that the trail by the Lake is colder; and I also forgot any water or Sports Beans. I had to pee in the woods at mile 3 and mile 5. I am not used to running that late! I had been drinking water all day. By mile 8 I.WAS.STARVING. but I had nothing to eat. I just keep chugging along, by this time I was freezing my ass off because it was dark and much colder.

By mile 11 I felt like I was going to puke, but kept moving along. I finally was done..yay!!!!!

Wow! Great run, Kelly!

I don't really like to run in the evening either. I can definitely relate to the multiple stops after drinking water all day.
