4:25AM- I sat in bed thinking of ways to stay awake. I had just woken up from a nightmare about a baby trying to kill me with a knife. Think Chucky. Then I fall back asleep for just minutes, to see my very pregnant friend ( who is in real life due any day) no longer looking pregnant. When I ask her where her baby is, she shrugs it off and says she doesn't know. Then she puts her hand to the side of her mouth as if to tell me a secret and says, " but I hear there's a baby in a dumpster in Ogden if your looking for one." Somehow I don't make a connection that it's likely her baby, but instead start thinking about how I can find the baby and keep it for my own, instead of going through a pregnancy. I needed to run.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the temperature was at 57°!! I didn't really believe it so I overdressed, but wore one less later than usual. I totally warmed up by after 3 minutes, but there was a head wind so it helped me stay cooler.
I took it easy as I ran down Davis, around 8:45 pace. It felt nice to go slower, but unfortunately it made the miles drag by. So I decided to play a game on the way back by counting all the steps I took on grass. Apparently, I ran 3,322 steps on grass on the way back (4.5 miles) I'm not sure how useful that information is, but it made the miles tick by. I guess I could compare it to my overall steps found on my Garmin (50% of the total, since I only counted one way), then decipher the percentage of time spent on grass for the last half....but again, how would that information be useful and what purpose would it give to document? I'll probably still figure it out anyway.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! The only green I've worn today is bird poop on my wrist. The benefits of running on grass are many, one of them being the prime bathroom stall for every bird under every tree. It made my kids laugh so hard when I got home. I should have kept the green on, I've already been pinched by three-redheaded-miniature-leprechauns today.
