Procrastination
I have mastered the art of procrastination. I often find myself procratinating when it comes to running. Today I know I only have to put in 5-6 really easy miles so I keep delaying them. Once I start grad school and fall into a routine, I will be out the door by 6AM every morning running, but I am enjoying my recent "slacker" status!
Last night B. and I went out for an easy 5 with his friend back from their Notre Dame days, S. S. cracks me up - he was an exceptional runner in high school and he still has a lot of his old runner habits (i.e. he starts super slow and then allows the run to get progressively faster, he always has to be one stride ahead, he does not stop for traffic - this is a dangerous one). We had a blast as we strolled though one of my staple loops (since Chicago is on a grid, I perpetually run the same loops and I can easily add and subtract distance). I am experiencing a lot of muscle tightness so I need to be more diligent about stretching and recovery runs.
My plan heading into the weekend is as follows: easy 5-6 tonight, 8 up tempo tomorrow morning and 19-20 on the trails on Sunday.
