I did. I got outside to run... a little. I just really didn't want to do it this morning. I know I have races coming up. I know I feel better when I get out and go. But, that little voice in my head was telling me it would be much easier to just relax. Be lazy. Eat whatever you feel like. That is so much easier than the fit way, in the moment, at least. It's hard to keep thinking of the big picture. It's hard to remember how cruddy I'd feel if I let myself go. What diseases would I be more likely to come down with? Diabetes? Cancer? Would my allergies strengthen again? I know I feel on top of the world when I am working out regularly. But extra sleep is so seductive. I did get to bed at a decent time last night. But, thanks to vacation, I've been getting up later lately. Not crazy late, but 2-3 hours later than when I need to. I need to give myself a few days to adjust. Forgive myself for the temptation to be lazy.
The experiment to work out in the evenings didn't pan out. I don't know if I blogged it before, but I'm going back to all mornings. I already have, actually.
The stats aren't that impressive. In total, I ran 1.74 miles in 21:30. Pace of 12:22. I walked in the middle for 1 minute and before the run for a little over 8 minutes. I was yawning a lot during that warm-up walk.
