excuses

Got in 7 miles in Coldspring Tx this past Saturday morning.  Misty drops me off at Uncle Buddy's house in town and I run the roads to Cissy and Gene's house.  I can't say how many miles I've run on that road over the past 15yrs but it's a lot.  It can be a little tricky since there's no shoulder whatsoever and some short steep hills.  I cross the road frequently so I can be seen from as long a distance as possible and I try to really focus on listening for cars in the distance.  When I hear a car coming I'll cross to the opposite side so the passing car can stay completely in it's lane.  If I have cars coming from both directions I'll just head down into the ditch.  I don't want to put any drivers out while I'm out there.

I didn't eat so clean while out of town.  I hardly ever do.  I always say I will and then don't however, I didn't eat a bunch of junk at their house like I usually do.  I had planned on 7 miles in the hood this morning before a plumber was supposed to arrive but woke up to our oldest cat Jodi not feeling well so I let assume her normal position in my lap instead of running.  I need 43 more miles this month to get in 100.  7+ tomorrow will be a good chunk but we've got some more shitty weather headed our way early next week.  I'll be so damn glad to get through with winter again but, that'll take away some of my excuses for not running!!
