What a morning...

I left the house today at 7:40am to run my long run of 17 miles indoors (BOO!) because of the ridiculous cold weather here in Chicago-land, to return over 4 1/2 hours later. Not because my run took me that long; my run was only about 2 1/2 hours of that time. The other 2 hours was because I was in a 3 car accident about 5 minutes from the house. Don't worry, I'm okay, and my car actually is minimally damaged and is also drivable (which is great considering that the other 2 cars involved were towed) but also quite frustrating because the accident wasn't my fault, yet here we are again waiting on insurance claims and collision centers to get my Pilot back. NO FUN! No fun at all. Thankfully I wasn't hurt and after talking with Christian he encouraged me to go ahead and run my miles because I was already dressed and ready to go. Now let me tell you my mindset was elsewhere, for sure, but I decided Christian was probably right and now that it's over, I'm glad I completed my run. The silver lining in that is that when I got to the gym, the Rafa Nadal vs. Bernard Tomic match started 30 seconds before I started running, so I was able to watch all of the match during my run, which certainly helped time pass!

Then I get home to nurse Micah and he (sorry guys) bites me!! I was afraid of the day that this might happen, and now that he has 2 little teeth in his mouth, those 2 little teeth can be quite deadly. So.....hopefully that is not something that continues again, but like I said, what a morning...
