Sometimes the best you can do is throw up your hands and say tomorrow is another day. At least you know you're prepared for anything now!<br /><br />Oh, and also - I was commenting to introduce myself, I'm Kristen - aka the running lawyer, aka the frequently absent blogger, aka friend of Tall Mom who is also running OKC in a few weeks! I just saw Beka's slightly creepy email to you so figured I'd introduce myself as well.

You ran in <i>ice</i> forgoodnesssakes!<br /><br />I guess some runs just suck. Especially in Western Washington weather. I have serious doubts as to how many people would have stuck it out as long as you did. That's pretty awesome!

I think miles in such conditions actually count as 1.5 miles or something, so you got more done than you thought...<br /><br />And then to knock out three more on the treadmill, cold and wet and blah... you did great.<br /><br />Stay strong and hang in there! You'll get it done! I've got faith in you!L.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03932409909043501781noreply@blogger.com
