This week has been nuts, maybe because it is so close to the holidays. Regardless, my job has me running (literally), as one day I HAD to get to an appointment on time and the weather was monsoon-like. I delayed as long as I could and then finally decided that it wasn't going to let up and, hey, it's just a little rain. I had to ford a river in the parking lot that had to be 2 inches deep and I got drenched (but made it to my appointment!). During my venture to my car, approximately 100 yards or so, I was walking fast and then running, which probably got me wetter, but to the car much quicker. I was pleased that I could run and was only slightly winded.
I managed to bail on my walk/runs, except for the unplanned walk home after running out of gas. I did, however, make it to the gym twice and karate workouts twice (not counting teaching on Thursday). I also teach tomorrow, but plan to get some kata work in. So, for the upcoming 5K run on Thanksgiving, my cousin and I will likely walk and run in equal measure depending on how we feel. Still, that's a minimum 300 calorie burn, pre-Thanksgiving meal regardless of the method of getting there. Not too shabby for a holiday!
