Didn't Bring It Today

Had a great 15 mile run today with an additional 5 mile walk back to my car.  I was supposed to go 20 miles this morning but it just didn't come together.  About mile 14 I started to have some GI issues and at mile 15 I called it and started walking back to the car.  I left A Runner's Zone at about  5:20am and finished the first ten miles by the time the running group left the shop.  I've missed running during those magical early morning hours as the world is waking up and really enjoyed the solitary time.  I haven't done that since December back in Napa.  Next, I ran five miles with Darrin who was going out on his 20 mile effort before I fell off and started walking back.  About the same time Brian came up the trail and walked the full 4.5 or so remaining miles back to the shop with me.  I felt bad for ruining his workout but we did have fun just being out there.  You never know what is going to happen when you go out on those really long runs, so you just have to take everything in stride.
