In the middle of the night...

So today, I meant to run before call ~ I even set my alarm. I did not, however, get out of bed.
"That's okay," I thought to myself. "I'm only on call until 8 pm."

Of course, I got sucked in at work. Henna, one of our nurses, came in laboring, and how can you not stay to deliver a friend? So at 9:16 pm, the world is one cute boy more (Gregory, 6 lb, 12 oz and only 6 pushes!) and I didn't actually leave the hospital til after 10.
"Don't run!" said Vanessa, on the way home. "You're crazy!"

But I knew had to. Now, it's a little late, so I didn't want to do my regular run. Instead, I drove a loop of my apartment complex and found it to be 0.6 miles as a complete loop. I parked my car, ran in, changed my clothes and was off.

January 3rd route: Two Loops of Fairfield at Selden
Songs listened to: Move Along, Switch, The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage (Panic at the Disco has the strangest titles), Love Song
Total time: around 10 minutes - I left at 10:48 and was back by 10:58
Weather: 29 degrees, clear night sky, feels like 19 degrees
Feeling: I'm still in it!
What I learned: I need some new ipod songs...

Admittedly, there's something a little tempting about going out after midnight for my second mile...
