I
AM
SUPERWOMAN!

Hahahah JUST KIDDING!!!! 

Here’s the story.  Today, I totally didn’t feel like going for a run.  In order to get my 60 miles in for the month, I needed to run just 4 miles and I needed to do it TODAY!  So, even though my Garmin was dead, I talked myself into running, and surprisingly, I felt great!  I felt awesome, actually.  I decided to run alone (minus my puppy dog) – just me,  my Yurbuds, and my RunKeeper app on my phone! 

I was about to reach 2 miles when I came across a couple walking with a stroller and their two dogs.  I’m always friendly to dogs when I see them so I said hi to the huge Golden Retriever.  She jumped at me twice to tell me “hi” and in the process, she bumped me in the eye with her slimy nose, and she ripped my Yurbuds completely out of my ears.  Her owners never once told me hi…they yelled at her (“MOLLY!”) to leave me alone.  I shrugged it off and decided to start running again-only one problem: I lost a Yurbud.  The earphones were still intact, but one blue plastic bud had popped off the earphones.  I became frantic (even though I still remembered to stop my RunKeeper) and was about to ask the couple to turn around to help me – but I realized they never once paid any attention to me.  What nice neighbors, huh?  In the middle of my franticness (if that’s even a word), my husband called.  I told him he would probably have to meet me on his way home to shine his lights because by this point, it was getting dark.  I wondered if Molly had my Yurbud in her mouth?  Where did it fall?  Did it roll? 

Miraculously, I found it.  It was in my shirt (even though I shook out my shirt twice) but I never questioned it. I just said a quick thanks and restarted RunKeeper.  I got home, grabbed my doggie to try out her new harness, and started on the 2nd half of my run.  In the middle of that mess, RunKeeper jumped from a distance of 1.5 miles to a distance of 2.6 miles when it should have only increased by 0.3 miles! Wow!  I knew I hadn’t run that far, so I used RunKeeper for a timer and kept up with the mileage in my head.  The 2nd half of my run with my dog was much faster than the first – partly because it was getting dark when we stated our run! 

Even though RunKeeper says I ran 5.5 miles in 36 minutes, I actually ran 4 miles in 36 minutes – Making it my FASTEST 4 mile run to date!!!  Woohooo!

Soooo, to end the month of February, my mileage totals:  60.60 miles!  :0))  I’m pretty excited about that!
