11 Hard Miles
May 28th 2005 by Leisa in general
The run today was really hard. I ran out of tunes and blood sugar. My ipod freaked out at the Hawthorne bridge on the way out. It stopped and the battery indicator was at 0%. I tried resetting it and half of my music disappeared. I tried resetting it again and the rest was wiped. When I got home the battery indicator said 80% full but no music. It was tougher without a bubble of music or fun audio book. I did come up with a couple of good ideas for my writing project and a few taunts for Paul when we crossed paths. My water mixture was not quite strong enough and I only had one little gummy candy. Low blood sugar is not fun and it made my legs crampy when I stopped. I tried out new thin socks in hopes the toe on my right foot would be happier. It really wasn’t and i felt more friction rubs on the soles of my feet. Paul got lost (missed the turn around point) and went for 13 rather than 11.
