Not Doing Justice
Right now I'm so on the tired side that writing about the past two days won't really do them justice. So much has been going on with all the family obligations that there has been very little time to sit down and write. I won't bore anyone who reads this with all the dull details of Sunday morning
On Saturday night, I was the only one who was pooped, so I was the only one who actually went to bed on Saturday night. This resulted in me being the only one up early on Sunday morning. At 7:40, there were no signs of life, so I got dressed and went to run. This wasn't one of those great runs. In fact, it was pretty lousy. Rolling out of bed and heading out to run just isn't the route to a fantastic run. The last mile wasn't too bad, but the other six were really sad. Of course, it did give me free reign to eat as many Christmas cookies as my little heart desired.
This morning, I met up with R, J, and M to do an easy run. We did our usual Monday evening loop around the river. I hit the wrong button on my watch, so I never started it. We ran so easy that it felt kind of uncomfortable, but still did the loop over two minutes faster than we usually do it in the dark. My stomach wasn't too happy-we ate dinner really late last night, so there wasn't enough digestion time for me. After the loop, we did four 200 striders on the track. The idea was to run them just around 6 minute pace so that it was within all of our ranges of pace(5K for some, 1/2 marathon for some) but not all out.
It was suprisingly warm this morning. It was raining when I woke up which would have made for a very unpleasant run since it wasn't overly warm. I was comfortable without my head being covered and considered taking my jacket off during parts of the run, but decided not to do it.
Time to write some thank you notes. Hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday!
