Not-so-tempo run

Despite my cough. cold, drainage, etc. I got up to do my tempo run this morning.  It took me a lot of dilly dallying to get out of the house.  I wanted to do a mile slow, 3 at tempo, and another slow.  But, the tempo part didn't happen.  In fact, I came close to quitting all together.  But, I talked myself into continuing and finished out 5 miles.  The self encouragement was hard.  I told myself I will run down the street (slightly downhill) and then I can walk back or whatever.  Of course, I knew when I got there I would tell myself I should continue running and finish, so it took some convincing to talk myself into that stretch.  Naturally when I got to the bottom, I decided to finish because I felt good (having just run down a slight hill) and I only had a little over half a mile left.

Even though I didn't do the faster speed, I'm still counting it as completed!

Bunnies - not sure, but at least 2, maybe more but it was dark
