Week 38 Day 6

Travel day home!

So with the wrestling behind me I needed to get up early and get out of my folks house so I could beat the storm home.  It was rough because I was pretty pumped up from the wrestling event and I did not make it into bed until a little after midnight.  I was still up before 6am and ready to start my day.  The rain had started already so I skipped my morning jog in the hopes I could get on the road at least 30 minutes quicker.  Truth be told I was mildly sore and was happy to have an excuse to skip the jog.  I could have done it and I should have, but I did not.  I ate breakfast, packed up and was on the road in 45 minutes.  What a trip it was.  I hit snow in Pennsylvania 1 hour into my drive and the temps dropped below freezing so I took it easy with my speed.  My normal 4.5 hour journey took over 6 hours to get home.  That did include 2 bathroom stops and a lunch stop.  Here is what it looked like on the way home to DC.

Not to much fun driving in the frozen slush.  I made it OK and and that is all that matters.  There were multiple accidents involving multiple cars, but fortunately they all were skidded either onto the center median or far off the roadway on the right side shoulder.  No rubber necking delays.

Besides skipping my AM workout I skipped the PM one too.   I have not skipped a full day of exercise in a long time but felt it was appropriate today due to weather conditions and the comfort of sharing the couch with my wife.  We missed each other for these few days apart.   That is it for today.  Tomorrow I will be back at the grind.
