Sometimes I'm...

Really forgetful and flighty. Sometimes I think it is a result of me losing consciousness on more than 1 occasion then I realize I have always been like this and it's not any worse. For example, today I had a 7am flight to St. Louis. Joy of joys I love waking at 5am and rushing to the airport. Anyways while on the way to the airport I realized I packed my running shoes but no shorts, t-shirt or sports bra. And peeps, this isn't the first time this has happened. Where I'm staying for this trip is an area where there's not a whole lot on the shopping front (or much of anything front) available. I think there is a Target maybe 10 miles away. I may have to head over there after work and pick up some items...I may just scratch it altogether.

Yesterday I had a great 4 mile run. And for the first time in weeks I consistently ran under a 9 minute mile AND negative splits. Two good runs in 3 days puts me in a very happy mood. My love affair with running has returned for now :)

Hi Jamie

I could tell you all about forgetting simple things... I do it all the time. The fact of the matter is that we are incredibly busy people and thinking about 10 things all at the same time. Thank God for Target (rhymes with O'Shea!) as they have bailed me out many times.

Negative splitting your 4 miler is always nice.

Glad to hear your back in love with the running.

sounds like a good excuse to buy some new running clothes :) i like to "accidentally" forget things when i travel! great job on the run!

I'm the same way, and I've only gotten worse with the kids. BAH! But hey like Aron said, it's a totally legit excuse to buy some new clothes :-)

I forget things on business trips all the time. I made it to Chicago with all my running gear, but forgot my Garmin!! Lovely weather here in Chicago!!

Say hello to St. Louis for me - it is my home. where are you at that there is no shopping.
Keep up the great training.

It's a love affair that will take you through its share of ups and downs for sure.

Wow! Negative splits and sub 9 minute miles? I'm soooo jealous! Keep up the great work.

I think this is really your way of saying you are becoming a nudist runner...it's ok we won't judge you.

I forgot my Garmin when I went to Scotland. It was awful! :D
