Not my worst run ever this morning (that prize will probably always go to the Great Blister Incident) but definitely not without its challenges. I decided to present it to you as an infographic.
It IS the first time I’ve run three quarters of a mile nonstop, so I was pretty proud of that. It was nice and breezy out and I had on my new cool RoadID and I was just running along when THE HEAVENS OPENED AND THE RAINS BEGAN. But by that time I was a good mile and a quarter into the run so I thought, maybe it’ll be like one of those ten-minute rainshowers you sometimes get, or maybe I’ll run out of it! Chicago is full of microclimates, such things are possible.
So I ran for another quarter of a mile or so before I realized I was not going to outrun the rain. I turned around at the midpoint of the chart and started running back the other way, but apparently even the power of Shut Up And Dance cannot overcome the extra water I was carrying ALL OVER ME.
Also I saw four rats on my run, which is unusual; mostly if I see wildlife it’s bunnies. One of the rats possibly paced me and was the same rat, those motherfuckers are fast.
Then I arrived back and it was still raining, so instead of running around the building to the side-entrance I just came in the front door and the doorman saw me dripping on the floor and cracked up. When I got upstairs I did look like a drowned cat in hipster glasses.
Still. Pretty proud of that ¾ of a mile. I could probably have done the full mile but there’s something funky going on with my left knee so I decided not to push it.
