a little more than i could chew.

went to mom's house this morning so we could run a few errands together and while owey napped i took advantage to hit the road by her house. i took off to run the trail in their neighborhood (which by the way has an awesome view of all of encinitas) and then took a turn off not really knowing where i was going. i figured i know encinitas well enough that i couldn't actually get lost, so i just kept running. i did not get lost, but i did bite off a little more than i could (or wanted to, rather) chew. i ended up running up one of the steepest hills by my mom's house (leucadia) kind of on accident, and between that and the dirt trail (so different from pavement!) i managed to challenge muscles that must have been in hiding all this time. i did make it back alive, and since i ran somewhat aimlessly (kinda fun sometimes- you should try it) i was hoping i had hit the 4 mile mark at least. sure enough, 4.2 miles, 47 minutes. happy friday tomorrow. i think amy and i are planning 7 for saturday, and then next week will be the big one (11 or 12).
