Running Streak Day 51 - Real-Life Evolution of a Run

The evolution of my 51st straight day of running was an interesting one.  Let me take you through the steps:

• My legs are sore and tired.  I raced a half marathon Sunday (Stonebridge Ranch Half), and I have another half marathon 6 days later (Cowtown Half this Saturday).
• I woke up in the morning thinking I would go out in jeans and walk a mile in the neighborhood while Marissa was in school during the AM and then walk another mile in the evening to total 2.0 miles today.
• My required errands of my life consumed me this morning so no 1 mile this morning!
• Okay, I'll walk two miles this evening.
• Well, if I'm going out, let's at least put on running clothes, right? :-)
• Let's just jog two easy miles.  I have a route that's about a mile straight out from the house down one street, I'll just do that out and back.
• A little dip to the left on a side street for a house's length to that alley entrance, cross the street, and back through the community pool parking lot - there's an extra 0.03.
• A little jag to the right down a side street to the next intersection, down a street, and back to the original road I was on - another extra amount, about 0.15.
• And it continued, a dip here, a jag there, a jig here, and before I knew it, I was back to my house at 2.35 miles (note: > 2.0 miles) :-) and at not the worst jogging pace!

I need to spend more time icing and stretching the next couple days so I'll feel ready for Saturday.  But I wanted to share how one intended run transformed over the course of a day.  Happy Running!
