Another runnning lost moment...

I went for a run on Sunday. Since it was Sunday I was running a little later in the morning so I decided to run through Stromovka Park. (I think I have mentioned that I don't run there early in the morning because it it too secluded for me to feel safe.) Stromovka is a really nice park and is quite busy with people during the day. My intent was to run from one end of Stromovka to the other end and then out onto the streets up to Letna park and then back home. I reviewed the map before I went and knew I needed to come out of Stromovka and make 2 rights. Well, when I came out of Stromovka I just wasn't thinking and thought "this is the way to Letna". Unfortunately my internal direction was off. I didn't even think about what I had looked at on the map I just continued running. as I was running I was thinking "where is Letna? I thought I would be there by now." Then I came upon a church...uh, oh...I know that church! It is the church near the Vltavska metro. Once I recognized the church I knew where I was and it was not where I wanted to be. I was further away then I intended. I had to run all the way up hill to get back to Letna. I didn't run quite as far in Letna as planned since I was feeling quite tired since I had run the whole way with only 1 stop for a traffic light. I headed home and checked my mileage on google earth. I ran 4.88 miles at a rate of about 11 min a mile. My total distance was about what I had intended so I was glad I had cut out part of my Letna route. It was a good run overall. I find that getting lost actually helps me run because it distracts me from the actual running. Watson seemed pretty tired after our run. He loves to run and running through Stromovka and Letna gives him a chance to really stretch his legs.
