Monday Morning Commute

I'm getting ready to pack up the room and hit the road. Unfortunately, both the sky outside my window and the weather report indicate that I'll be driving through rain today. When I realized last night that I have only 1400 miles to go, I told myself I could do it in two more days if I push. My record driving day of recent years was 800 plus miles (Veradale, WA to Auburn, CA), which I did last year with Toby. But I don't think there is any way I can do 700 miles a day in the rain, driving through the more populated areas that I'll be entering today. Oh well. I always told myself it would take five or six days. Six days will mean averaging less than 500 miles the next three days. Much more sensible. Plus, what a handy excuse I have for not running - I would be running of course, if only it weren't raining. That sounds pretty believable, don't you think? I love finding the bright side whenever possible.

So off I go in another fifteen minutes or so, knowing that there is a Starbucks 1.5 miles from here and very dear friends a mere 1400 miles away!
