Slept In
Today I knew I wanted to run about 12 miles. I also knew that I wanted to go and get coffee from one of my favorite places. I knew that if I really wanted to do both, I should get up at 6:00 am. That didn't happen.
I woke up a little before 8:00, putzed around for half an hour, and started running. I thought I would feel kind of crappy just due to running 13 miles yesterday in a double. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I felt pretty good after warming up for 10 minutes or so. I ran what has become my usual Thursday mid-long route, and added on a little bit, to make a 12 mile run. Yesterday I thought that I'd be hard pressed to actually run 70 miles this week but after yesterday and today things are looking up again - I've run 44 miles so far this week and it's only Thursday. Unless I become a total slacker I think I should be able to do this. Oddly, I actually feel really good - my legs feel better than they had for a few weeks and even though I don't feel like I'm running very fast a lot of the time, I keep finishing my runs in times that I'm pretty happy with.
Now if I can only get motivated to take a shower, get dressed, and go out in search of breakfast and somewhere to read my book, I'll be pretty happy!
