My plan was to run on my own instead of meeting up with the team. I've been so busy that I really wanted to sleep in. My mentor informed me that I had to pick up my packet today so I had to make the practice. I woke up later than I intended and hurried to get dressed, grab some food and water and run out the door.
We were meeting at a new place, a school in Los Altos so it took a little longer than I thought to get there. When I arrived at the school, everyone had already left. I waited around for awhile and didn't see anyone. I decided to go run a little bit on my own, but given that I didn't know my way around I didn't want to go too far.
I ran to the Rancho San Antonio park. There were lots of runners but I wasn't sure which direction the team would go and having never been to the park before I didn't go to far in. I headed back to the car and found the TnT coordinator. She said the team should be on their way back if I wanted to wait but she had the packets.
I didn't feel like waiting around so I just went home. I grabbed the dogs (we're dog sitting) and headed out for a run. Its pretty impossible to run with both dogs so I left them off leash and ran around the Sun Campus in Santa Clara. We ran around the campus a few times. After the first trip around the dogs were ready to go home. When I kept running they were very confused and not too happy.
When I was done I was really disappointed. It was only a few miles but I felt really tired and beaten down. It makes me very nervous about the race. I'm sad.
