Stupid decision. Obviously. (Thanks for that stellar advice, Gary.)
Not only was I soaking wet, but my iPod was also soaking wet. So wet that it turned off on its own while I was still running. I didn't come in the house and finish my run on the treadmill because my shoes were so wet and I thought that if I waited until today, maybe they'd be dry enough that they wouldn't make me have prune feet after running in them.
So I went to run this morning and realized, my iPod didn't work. At first I thought maybe just the sensor on my shoe got wet and that was why my run cut itself short yesterday. But after checking things out more, I don't know if the sensor was wet because my iPod couldn't even find the Nike+ transmitter that is absolutely necessary to track my run. ACK!
Well today I was faced with a dilemma. I really, really needed to get a run in today while Oliver was at preschool. I had 10 miles that I needed to make up from this weekend. But I really didn't want to run without my Nike+.
Well I did it. It was a minor miracle that I was able to do it without my trusty Nike+. I checked my google maps about 7 times before heading out for my run so I would know exactly where I was running and how far it was going to be. Surprisingly I wasn't too freaked out about not having my Nike+ with me to keep track of how far I'd gone or how fast I was going... It helped that I was running a very well traveled course and I knew a ton of spots along my run to help me mentally keep track of my miles.
And it also really helped that I found a website where I could cheat a bit and input my time and distance and it would make it look like I had actually run with the assistance of my Nike+. (Score!)
