Run In With Disaster

Yesterday started great. I went to the gym, and ran an amazing 5k around the track. I ran in 35:03. Now that is good stuff. I had been excited to go run, and was so happy with my run.

All of that came crashing to a halt when I got home and discovered we had been robbed. Our door, what was left of it had been kicked or something strong punched it open. The frame was in pieces on the ground. Most of our electronics were gone - TV, computers, XBox - the cool stuff. Some other personal items are gone too.

Mark and I are devastated. I have never been through anything like this, and have felt very shaken and nervous. I am not even going to jump on my case for having Steak and Shake last night. Damn it we were robbed.

So now we begin to put the pieces of life back together, and that is hard. Mark is so angry, and I feel very vulnerable. If Mark had his way we would be back in Chicago. That won't happen.

He is mad about the stuff. I told him stuff I can replace, I can't replace him or our dog. She was in a crate when it happened and was not harmed thank goodness.

So no running today, and I feel crappy that my good run was spoiled. Now I just have to get some peace of mind back.
