Oookay, so I went on a run, with the intention of only going 5 miles. I had plotted my route on mapmyrun.com, but when I got to the one turn, it wasn't there. So I kept going on the road I was on. After a little while, I decided to cut through a field to get to where I was supposed to be. That field turned into woods. Then the woods opened up to reveal a pretty traffic-heavy road. I ran up that road, thought I recognized a street off to the left, and took it for the mile and a half that it went until it turned into a driveway. I was so lost by this point, I went to the house at the end of the road, asked for directions and for a water-bottle refill. Eventually I made it back to a road I knew, but by this point, I had gone twice as far as I wanted and my knee was starting to hurt. To top it off, it starting pouring down rain. I sprinted down the hill until I reached Padawan's house, where I received water, towels, and snacks. I also called my mom to tell her I wasn't dead. Eventually Rachel gave me a ride home. My "5 mile" run took two and a half hours to complete. Wooh.
