3 miles around the park near my in-laws house this morning. I was really grouchy when I left to go run this morning. I think I've mentioned before that my in-laws live "in the country" where it isn't really safe for me to run from their house, so I have to drive "into town" to go run. The Engineer got up to take his mom to visit his grandmother and I asked him if he was taking our car. He didn't know, but since he didn't come back to tell me otherwise (and I reminded him I was wanting our car to go run) I assumed he did take it and waited for him to come back. Apparently he didn't take our car, so I wasted an hour unnecessarily. Then when I wanted to get ready to leave, my sister-in-law was taking a shower and then drying her hair, preventing me from using the bathroom (a necessary step before running!) for another half hour. As I'm finally leaving, the Engineer points out that it has just started raining. Well yippee, especially since I only packed white running shirts. I still left because as I said "a little rain never hurt anyone ... except the dog because it makes her smell." But I was kind of mad because if I had left earlier, there would have been no rain - and I would've liked to have left a lot earlier than I did.

It wasn't really raining by the time I got to the park, and other than it being super humid I didn't get wet at all while running. I was feeling a little uncomfortable towards the end because I usually like to pee at least 3 times before I go run and well, see above about being kept from the bathroom.

Yes, I am self-centered, in case you weren't aware of that fact already.

There is nothing self-centered about that actually. Tying up the bathroom for that long without making sure that others don't need it is kind of rude I think personally...if there is only one bathroom! I always have asked a roommate, if they are around, if they are going to need it before I go in and shower/bathe or what not!
