In search of comfort food last night, I honestly thought the combination of beer and tomato soup was a great idea. Hindsight is 20-20. Apparently, when combined in such quantities, the two cause vomit-like tendencies by mid-sleep. I never actually threw up (thank god), but I’d wager I lost about two hours of quality rest. Oh well. When the alarm went off at 5:00 am, I contemplated ignoring it in order to reclaim 45 minutes or so of sleep. But, I thought, “Tomato-tomato (or, as my Italian friends say, mezza-mezz). I probably won’t feel that much more rested if I stay here, in this cozy warm bed, god damnit.” So I got up, cursed a few more times and braved the cold. It was nice to be back on my regular route, where I know the mileage and can anticipate the hills. But my performance and my overall time was slightly diminished by what I’m now calling the tomato soup incident.

Run time: 5 minute warm-up, 15 minute run
Total distance: 1.7 miles
