What Can Make You Run Faster?

I set out on my "long" run this weekend - about 6.4 miles. At a point when I was about three miles away from home, I got a call from my husband, saying that he had managed to lock himself and our toddler out of the house. They had left for the park when I set out on my run and he forgot to take his house keys with them. Whoops!!!! Unfortunately, I was three miles away, with no way to get home quickly! I just had to run! :) At least it made me pick up the pace a little bit (that and being chased by a bee during the last mile!). What a workout! Not my longest run -- but definitely some of my quicker miles there at the end! Now if I can just do double that, I should be ready for August!!! :)
