Hard Night, maybe not.
Tonight was a hard night to get out the door. Did not get home from work until 7:00 and it was cold and windy out. Today was a meeting day so it sucked the life out me one boring hour at a time. I did manage to put on the pants, short sleeved shirt, long sleeved shirt, jacket, gloves, and hat and make it out for 4.5 miles of fun in the dark, windy, winter evening.
It is always that way for me. The house is warm and the couch is so inviting. I also have tons of boxes to fill and contractors to call. Every excuse pops up just when I am about to head out the door. When I am 30 seconds into the run, I am so glad, just happy to be moving away from it all. I have never done drugs, but I imagine that must be what it is like. Just happy to be there.
Am I spoiled or what? It is February 6, we have had almost 2 weeks of spring, and I am complaining about winter being winter. I will probably pay dearly this spring for such a complaint. It will be some 35 degree race day on the outdoor track with gail force winds and horizontal rain.
At lunch today, Justin and I got on the trails in Sudbury for a counter Nobscott Loop in 47:04. You will be reading a lot about the Nobscott loop because I do it just about every day at lunch. It is 5.5 miles on trails and 7.2 total miles. Just a great loop. Hilly, soft, and scenic. I am so lucky to have soft trails all around. Of course when I look for places to live, I make sure of it, but I am lucky to be able to find places with soft trails all around. 2 sets of lifting after the run. And my little bout with the trots is gone. If I only didn't have to put 11 hours in at work today it would have been a perfect day.
It is 9:19 and I am going to bed. I can not promise and entry tomorrow night but will catch you wednesday if I don't catch you tomorrow night.
