ugh  
Had plans to go to work, then drive up to Philly for the Broad St. Run expo, pick up Laur's and my race packets and then her at the bus depot, getting a run in Philly in between the end of the expo ,6pm, and her ETA, 8-8:30. It was supposed to only be an easy 6 miles, but I hit a telephone pole...with my car. Obviously I'm alright. My car, notsomuch. I had to wait around for my wonderful friend Becca to pick me up in Wilmington and then drive to the Enterprise dealership to get a rental...a sweet rental- a Saab 9.3. A smart person said, "The only thing that could make this car cooler would be a sun roof." (I have to agree Lauren!)

Anyway, this all conspired against me to cut short my run. I was going to skip it altogether, but I realized that I was so frazzled and I needed 3 things, in order: Laur, a run, and a beer. So I ran around by the National Constitution Center for 20-25 minutes whilst waiting for her bus to get in. Combined with the half hour walk from the accident scene to downtown Wilmington (something I wouldn't recommend you do at night, by yourself, or with a big sack of money or drugs) I'm going to give myself credit for 3 miles today. I won't factor in time, but 3 miles</a> today is what I will add to the training log. Tomorrow I think I may take off or run, depending on how crazy it is. Either way, Sunday is the first race I get to do with Laur in way too long, and it's going to be our longest race together to date :)
