What a nice day out. It is soooo windy today but I love it b/c it isn't a cold wind. Nice and comfy. 34 mph winds says weather channel at 65 degrees. My last mile was a little slower than the first 3 but add in wind and a hill and it is bound to effect you.
Also the first two miles stunk. I had a cramp and had to go to the bathroom. But after that i felt pretty okay. I thought I was being a slug but turns out I was running around 10 min miles. Which isn't bad for feeling like a slug.
So I did some reflecting on why I'm so blah about running. I"m on another forum and all th they do is talk abou thow much it hurts to run or why didn't run etc.
Last summer I read some wonderful running books and I ran A LOT. So I looked up so more books to read. If you have a fav blog or article that is inspirational that would be nice.
Lately I have been reading historical fiction and that can be depressing but very interesting. I just through a book that was about Nazi Germany. Very good book but sad too.
This weekend they have a FREE four mile race that starts at 6pm on that same trail i ran on last weekend. If I run it I'm running in the back of the pack b/c the trails were just so narrow and people were too competitive...I swear some just wanted to knock me over! |
