Speed work on my rest day!

Wow! I did speedwork on my rest day! Why you ask? Well I'll tell you. . .

I was headed to WalMart and pulled into this spot after a lady took an insane amount of time to buckle up and get situated and out of the space. Well, as soon as I pulled in I saw her purse on the side of the parking space. I jumped out of my car and grabbed the purse and started off. There were already too many cars around me to try to drive to her. It was hilarious. I was hopping around trying to see which way she was going. I saw that she was headed for the north stop sign so off I went hauling heinie for the stop sign. It was comical. I was running through the busy lot with this lady's purse in my hand, hoping not to get tackled by someone thinking I stole it from someone and trying not to get hit by a car in the process. Did some jumping and skipping intervals as I went over curbs and bushes. I caught her as she was rolling through the stop and she saw me and her jaw dropped. She asked me where I found her purse and I told her. About the time I handed it to her I remembered that my car was unlocked and my bike was in the back. She said something and I just yelled "no problem" and hauled heinie back to my car. Then it got really funny. I heard clapping! A few people figured out what happened and were clapping as I went back to my car. I got back there and locked everything up and one of the managers, who was in the lot, ran up and thanked me and said it was really nice. A few others said some nice things as I went into the store.

I had a really difficult run yesterday, and luckily I didn't pull or hurt anything that I can tell yet. It was quite a little sprint.

. .and that's why I did speed work on my rest day!
