Late Start

The alarm went off at 5am as usual, and the alarm must have woken my wife too (her alarm is a different sound and we have become acclimated to our own specific sounds).  I had hit the snooze button to gain an extra ten minutes of laying in bed and stretching.  My wife rolled over and noticed I was aroused, and proceeded to tempt me.  One thing led to another and she graciously allowed me to service her (no coaxing was needed, but her invitation to do so was enticing).  

Afterwards, life felt more sanguine and she and I snuggled in bed an additional hour.  Needless to say, running was not at the forefront of my mind.  

I did not get up to hit the trail until 7am, and by the time I got out there it was 7:45am.  I did do my five miles, albeit a tad slower than usual.  I am now having my first pipe of the day, waiting for the dog to eat her breakfast and do her "duty".  

I will end up arriving later at the U than I had originally planned, but it was well worth it.
