3.76 miles in 37'32"

i rested for about fifteen minutes after my bike ride while my wife got ready to run. at 6:45 we were out the door and walking a couple of blocks to warm up. we got to the corner of pine and allen and decided to try my "northside zig zag out and back route" in reverse.

it was slow going this morning. not sure what was going on, but my wife wasn't "feeling" it. we stopped and walked a bit even before we'd completed the first mile. we walked a little more before we hit a mile and a half. it was at that point that she said, "i think i want to go home," and turned east while i continued on south.

i ran a little faster for awhile, but then i started to feel not so great. i trudged along until about five blocks short of completing the route. i felt so awful at that point that i just stopped. i haven't done that in ages, but i didn't have anything in the tank and nothing was at stake so why push it? i walked the three blocks home and called it a day.
