Workout: medium-long run 12mi.

This was to be the day I fell off the training wagon for hopefully the only time in my schedule. With my interview at 1pm, a good 3-hour drive from the parents house in Sanford, NC, and knowing how I perform in a professional environment after, say, a 20-mile run, I planned to do these miles on my return. Unfortunately, the interviews went a bit longer than expected, and I didn't get on the road (runing-wise) until a bit after 7pm. Running mostly on the shoulder of 55mph 4-lane roads, with darkness well upon me, I opted to limit the mileage. Oh yeah, and we also had a 5:30am airport trip the next day.
