I really have the worst luck. I cannot seem to make it to the local high school track when it is actually open. My plan today was to get a double digit run in and run sprints at the track. The weather was supposed to be beautiful, but there was frost on the roofs when I woke up, so I killed some time getting caught up on old episodes of Breaking Bad. I finally headed out around 11. But the track was closed by the time I arrived. Apparently the weekend track hours are extensive, from 5:30am to 10:30am. The last time I arrived to locked gates, I remember seeing this sign, but didn't notice that it was only open for 5 hours!
I wasn't too far away from the gym, so I went over to lift some weights. I was paid a very nice compliment by a woman on my way in. She complimented my outfit, so she was obviously a lair (I had on just about every fluorescent color known to man and looked completely ridiculous, but I definitely wasn't going to be hot by a car!). I spent 10 minutes on the stair climber and then used a couple of upper body machines before heading home.
It wasn't the run I planned, but I enjoyed the change of routine. I think this might be an option for a summertime run, where I can get a water refill and a bathroom if I need it!
