I had this bizarre notion that I would run/walk around the neighborhood. OH btw I am in ATL. I have spent so much time here over the past 5 years I am pretty familiar with the area. I know there is a loop around the hospitals. I have driven it. Why not run/walk it. So I checked in at the hotel, went and grabbed an un-healthy attempt at dinner, and came back to give the loop a try. Well I ended up going further than anticipated. When I got to the top of this crazy steep hill I realised that if I went a block further there was another road that turns around and comes back this way. So I gave it a try. And there I was 30 minutes and 1.45 miles later back in front of my hotel. I know that doesn't sound like the right pace for me. My pace calcs seem to be off recently. Between wanting a digital watch with stop watch, heart rate montior and a pedometer that doesn't work... I am just unsure as to my distance and pace. And MMR is driving me crazy. It is so revamped and upgraded I am not as much of a fan as I was last year.
But tonight does count.
If you are counting sleep too. Last night was a bad night of sleeping. So I left it at a run/walk (oh I did run 4 times in the mix) again making it seem like the pace was off. So now I am tucked into the hotel room for the night and will shortly find something on the tele to watch.
I forgot to bring my new book.
I am kinda proud of myself for going out there. Such an achievement outside of my comfort zone. I need that more often.
Also made me think of an old friend that has gotten lost when running from his hotel. It made me chuckle a little bit.
