Road Blocks!
I've been trying to run everyday. However, I skipped yesterday because it was the 1st day of the new Summer Slimdown class at the gym and I had to be re-assessed before the class, which left no time before the gym. So I really wanted to get a run in today. At 5pm, it was POURING, so I went to the gym and did Body Pump class. It was a great class (and a great workout), but I still wanted to pound the pavement a bit because I have a Trail Run at Fontainebleau State Park tomorrow evening. So when I came home from Body Pump, this is what the sky looked like:
So I decided to wait a bit...about an hour later, the sky somewhat cleared, and I went to my usual running spot on the Tammany Trace in Abita. I got about 1/2 mile into my run toward Mandeville and then I saw this:
That had fallen from this:
SIGH....so I went in the other direction...toward Covington... I got about 1/2 mile back the other way and a block down and saw this:
And by "bridge" they meant the one over the Abita River - no way around it. OK, message received. I called it a night and went home. Sometimes we just need to take the hint the first time.
Last night I was really really really wanting to go running but Sarge kept telling me to take it a little easy before I hurt myself. As I was going out to run an errand apparently God wanted me to get the same message and dumped a TON of rain over Lafreniere while I was still debating on going. Knowing that I almost just slipped in the parking lot blacktop I took it as a sign and stayed home for the night.
