Enter Strep Throat

So as you can guess from the title, the 10 miler did not happen on Saturday. I got a nasty bout with strep throat Friday night and it had me down until Sunday night. Now I'm a stickler about my training plan. I don't veer off. So not being able to make my 10 miles threw me completely out of whack. I think I'm just going to do this week like normal and take the 10 on Sat of this week. Then just start next week right back where I should be. This morning I did 4 and really loved it. I think fall, morning running is the absolute best! Its cold but not freezing, and the MOON. Oh how I wish you could have seen the full moon. I just kept gazing up at it. I think I only saw about 2 cars, too. If you have never run in the peaceful quiet of the dark morning, you are missing out. Nothing but your breathing and the rhythmic sound of your feet hitting the pavement. I really, didn't want it to end. I'm not one to get deep or all zen. But seriously, this morning, all was right with the world for 40 minutes.
