1.3 miles into the run...translation...back of the park....the bottom fell out of the sky. By the time we got around the total 2.2, Kate and I were both soaking wet. But, the ipod and phone were dry. Not sure what it says about my parenting tha t I was more worried about the ipod getting wet than my child:)

Really I went 4.4 miles but stopped the ipod to talk to a neighbor. But, when you are working on 655 miles I guess .1 miles doesn't count. Who is counting? Really, I am counting and it is getting on my nerves not to have that .1 mile in my total. But I was faced with the dilema of needing to recalcuate the pace if I changed the distance. And that just seemed like too much work. So, now I will have .1 of a mile nagging in the back of my mind. Iwill probably lie in bed tonight doing the math in my mind. Maybe I will update this afterall:)

The fact that it was 90 degrees and 4 in the afternoon didn't help my time.
