Do my stupid and smart balance out?

cathywToday was apparently Global Running Day. One of my Twitter peeps posted a video in honor of the occasion that probably actually helped me: a) try to run at 150-180 steps/minute, and b) make sure you're landing on some part of the foot that isn't the heel.
All the same, I probably shouldn't've run today since I did yesterday. I came up short on my 7th running interval and really short on the eighth. Just. Couldn't. Do it. (I did aim for and I think mostly hit 150 bpm, though. Useful song: Mr. Brightside. I should probably put together a playlist.)
That was Stupid #1. Stupid #2: I took a wrong turn in my own freaking neighborhood, which resulted in my route being a quarter mile longer than I'd intended, and I staggered that last quarter mile.
Stupid #3: Somewhere along the way I stopped to lean against a telephone pole, from which I acquired a splinter, which all my attempts to remove have simply driven in farther. Argh. I'm tempted to live with it at this point.
That seems to be a net of 1 stupid. I lose.
Definitely not running tomorrow.
