This morning I had a dentist appointment scheduled for 7:30 a.m. As you all know, I’m not really a 7:30 a.m. kind of person, and I took the appointment only because I had to reschedule from last week and this was what they had available. So I showed up this morning, about 5 minutes late. And sat. And sat. This was a bit peculiar, since I had the first appointment of the morning. At 7:50, as I was just starting to read about how Britney Spears shaving her head is a cry for help (it was an old issue of People, what are you gonna do), the receptionist finally told me that my hygenist was running late. It was somehow related to the huge rainstorm we had last night…I dunno. Anyway, she asked me if I wanted to reschedule but I said I’d keep waiting. After all, I was already up. At 8:05, the hygenist still hadn’t arrived and the receptionist told me that I’d have to reschedule.
So I got up early for nothing.
Grr!
I’m sure I would have been more annoyed if I hadn’t worn myself out running last night. I only did 3 miles, but I just wasn’t feeling it. My legs were stiff, and my right shin was hurting a bit. I ran my standard 3-mile Gilruth route (a 1.5-mile out and back), but the Garmin has measured it at 3.02-3.05 lately. Not a big difference, but it does affect my splits a bit. Last night Garmin said I ran 3.05 miles in 10:27, 10:29, 9:57, and 0:33. But it was really probably more like 3 miles in 10:27, 10:35, and 10:24. Or something. Point is: I ran.
Last night was impromptu fish night at Becca’s, where I schooled everyone in Guitar Hero (and I was out of practice!) and gave more serious consideration to house-buying. Tonight I’m headed back to the rodeo tonight for Rascal Flatts and another fried Oreo. Ok, maybe I’ll skip the Oreo for the sake of my arteries. But it was really good.

Villanova is outside Philadelphia. Old Dominion is in Hampton, I think, near NASA Langley.

ODU is actually in Norfolk.
I got a 63 with an average error or 5 miles. Not bad considering I placed several correctly based solely on state name…

I am geographically challenged. As a child, I couldn’t place Ohio on a map.
