Wrong turn

Well this is my second post of the day...typically I will probably keep things to one post a day but I felt like tonight was worth blogging about. I had a really nice dinner with my family at Hope Valley, the meal was filled with a lot of laughs, a few sarcastic comments from my side and even a spilled glass of wine....things are never calm or normal with my family haha anyways after a really great dinner I decided to go on a 2-3 mile run, the weather was great and I figured after all short distance speed work today a slow run wouldn't hurt, especially since I'm only lifting tomorrow and not running again until Friday. Well a 2-3 mile run is typically my limit when it comes to endurance runs because I HATE long distance but because my pace wasn't fast I wasn't too worried about it. Well because of my poor sense of direction...and when I say poor sense of direction I mean absolutely NO sense of direction, my run turned into 5miles. I swear every time I took what I thought was a short cut it turned into a "long cut" and added more and more onto my run. I was gone for a little less than an hour, and returned when it was pitch black outside. I figured because I was gone so long and because I was still out there when it got dark, my dad would be waiting at the door or my mom would be filling a missing persons report. I walked in the house expecting to get scolded a bit for running alone in the dark, being gone so long etc...but no none of this happened none of my family even knew I was gone nor cared. I went in my parents room and said, "dad I was just gone for an hour running and you guys didn't even notice." my dad responded by saying "What's your name again?" SO with that said now I know who NOT to call when I'm stranded on the side of the road or in a ditch somewhere! Well I'm going to go watch real world and put some ice on my knee! I'm definitely going to feel five miles of running on asphalt tomorrow morning! Enjoy the night sleep well!

***I would like to file a disclaimer/apology on how poor my grammar and run on sentences are. I try to write as I think and reflect on what I'm writing about so my sentences come out like my train of thought. Remember I am not an English major and this blog was not meant to work on grammatical improvement! I hope you can still understand what I'm trying to say most of the time and frankly just deal with it! haha okay enough said you get the picture. Bye-bye!
