Unprepared

I'm a planner. I have never waited until the last minute for anything, never pulled an all nighter in college, I am always prepared. However, lately I have waited until the last minute to pack for trips out of town.

We spent the weekend in Napa, celebrating my 32nd birthday, and I didn't pack my suitcase until 8pm the night before we left (flight at 7:55am, so fairly last minute). I paid attention to the weather, and thought I packed appropriately. And for the most part, I did. Except when it came to my running attire. I brought a pair of tights and a long sleeve tech shirt to run in. It was 35 degrees when I woke up this morning! A tad too cold for no layers! I woke up at 6am, and waited for the sun to come up only to realize that it was too cold to run outside. I ended up running at the gym instead. At least there were windows and a nice view of the Napa River!

I didn't run as much as I had hoped to run today. I'm hoping to run the New Years' Double (the half marathon on December 31st only), but I'm not sure I'm in good enough shape to do it. I was hoping to get in 8 miles today and work my way up over the next 3 weeks. I'm going to shoot for 10 miles next weekend, if I can do it, then I'll sign up for my next race!
