So last night was even later than I could have possibly imagined. I got home at 1 in the morning from picking up my folks at the airport...but because of other circumstances that I won't talk about here...I did not get to sleep until after 3. I forced myself up at 8 and got out for what I thought would be a decent run. I was very tired, but the running has been so good lately, I was optimistic.
I had an errand to run that was connected with the night before. I thought it would be easy then I could get back out for the rest of my run after helping a friend. Somewhere along the errand, my priorities changed when I had some disconcerting information that I needed to act on to make sure everyone in my circle was ok. I had completed 3.6 miles, I believe, up to that point. I needed access to my cell phone quickly.....so I hauled home...and I mean hauled. I had been going pretty easily through the first part of my run. By the time I got home...I had run a tick over 5 miles and my time was around 8:45 seconds per mile. My IT is not doing so hot...but the situation was unavoidable. In the scheme of things...missing 1 mile on a taper week is really not a big deal...I just hope I am able to get the leg back to a manageable level of discomfort soon. Anyway...thanks for reading.

No worries at all about the missed mile. Hope the rest of your weekend was better! Enjoy next week's running. I may not comment at all, as I'll be in NY at an arbitration through Friday.
