I believe I was reincarnated! [10/18/2009]

We decided we would do this one last long run before the coming half-marathon. It was really cold. Lower 50's. We decided not to go buy new tights for winter now. "It's okay. We will warm up as we go". Well...W-R-O-N-G!
For one, we didn't eat a good breakfast. No adequate clothing. Bad combination!
We started off at about 1:45pm. It was a to and back run on West Ox road (familiar street). The run to...6miles were a breeze! I did it really really well. It was on the way back that was the killer! Madhura's hands were freezing. So she said she would come along slow while I was to go ahead and get the car. I could see she could barely hold her tears back because of the cold. So I took off. And really couldn't go that far at all! So decided the 2min run - 1min walk would help. That didn't. 1min run-1min walk didn't either. I'd left my phone back with Madhura, just incase. So missed the music too, maybe! I did get back and so did Madhura.
All in all, though we finished, we learnt valuables lessons: Eat well. Pace yourself such that you take it easy in the beginning and then pick up later, maybe. Good protective clothing is a MUST! Have to buy headbands and tights. Rather, appropriate for the weather.
We ate like animals after we got back. I say "Eat all you can Madhura. This might be the last thing thats going down your throat!"
Lesson learnt and hopefully that will come in handy in future.
I don't even want to note down what I ate.
