I realized I had used my road bike as a coat rack. Seriously?! I needed a workout. In addition, I'm sure TKB hasn't been thrilled with me working all these long hours, so I decided to rectify both. I slammed shut the laptop, put on my running gear and off I went. Now you will remember I made a comment about not running when there is a chance of slipping? Well, I threw that rule out the door... as well as my body, for that matter.
I wasn't sure how far I was going to go. I had just planned for going "around the block", which technically means a quarter of a mile. I mentally mapped out a quick two mile route. When I hit one mile, I pushed it out to a three mile route. Just before I turned back to the house, I decided to do the "Riss Lake Gauntlet". A valley that means you'll hit a huge hill twice. It's bad. I sometimes avoid it on certain runs. By the time I was done, I had logged 5.23 miles.
Well, the coat is still on the bike but at least I feel better now. I'll make sure I put it in the coat closet tomorrow. How did I rectify missing out on quality time with TKB? We cozied up to make fun of the latest offering of House Hunters/Property Virgins/whatever on HGTV.
