whew. last week i was a little off kilter. i got sick on friday the 23rd and went home from work early. monday i took the day off and tuesday i left early. i’ve never taken so many sick days in my life! it was somewhat frustrating, well i enjoyed leaving work, but i hated that i didn’t feel up to working out. wednesday i gave it a whirl. i did a 5 mile run (49:11). i was feeling like my body needed it, but by late afternoon i was hating myself! thursday i took off and then friday i did 3 miles. saturday my man and i went to the track together! one problem there: i’m a dark morning runner. i love it! so it was more difficult running at 9am vs 5:30. however, i was suprised to see my time was a pinch faster 26:54 on saturday vs 27:05 on friday. i’ll take it! i can’t comprehend how people can run 4 minute miles. insane!
well, this morning i don’t know what my problem was. i was scared to run early, since it’s colder and that’s where my sickies came from. but i leave for work at 7, so if i cant get a workout done by 6:15 i have to put it off until the afternoon. aparently i convinced myself that night running would be better. well, then i found out a church meeting was moved to today at 4:30. i finally got home at 5:45. i hurried out the door for a quick (my quickest, i think) 3 mile run. 26:48. it felt good! but now, after dinner, i have little time left before i hop into bed and start another day! oh boy!
this is a lot of rambling, but i think what i would eventually get to is that i’ve got a 10k coming up on thanksgiving. that past 2 races i’ve done i always ask myself why i race. i really don’t enjoy it. i hate running in the sun and i just feel like a failure. so, we’ll see how this one goes.
alright, i’m off to make some banana soft serve, (omg! thank you heather) then shower and off to sleep!
