A Postponed Race, but a Good Run Anyway

On Sunday morning, we woke up to fresh snow and it was coming down good. Kelly and I were supposed to be running a 10K and Caiden a 1 mile race that morning, but thankfully about half an hour before we were planning on leaving, we found out that it had been postponed until May 17th. I am so glad we found out and didn't drive all the way to Rapid only to find out then! The fact that it was cancelled put me in a bad mood and I didn't want to go running at all. But around 3:30, I finally got my butt in gear and headed to the gym. I had decided that since my race was postponed, I was going to run 2 more miles than the race, so 8 miles. Well, after an hour and a half, I decided that I would just run for 2 hours and then I looked down at my counter after 2 hours and realized that I had just 6 more laps for 11 miles. So, after 2 hours and 6 minutes and 126.5 laps later, I had run 11 miles. And I felt great! I hadn't run more than 10 miles since last year so this was exciting. So, even though my race was postponed, I still ended up with a good run and more time to prepare for my race in a few weeks!
