Yeah, well, I got up early and went wogging (walk/jog). It wasn’t easy by any means. I wanted to smash the phone at 545am but it’s my beloved iPhone, so I settled upon jabbing the screen with my finger til it snoozed 9 mins (take that). I did finally get up at 5 til 6. I was out the door a little after. *without coffee mind you*
Salem and Anna were so excited thinking it was breakfast time! Uhh, no, you must wait, darn I hate disappointing my fur babies. Hang tight, the non-morning person has to go jog. UGH.
I was hoping this morning would be a pleasant run. It’s certainly cooler. I had my new iPhone run tracker to try out. Plus, I wore my Garmin to compare how accurate it was. Lucky I did since the run tracker would not pick up a satellite signal. *guess it has problems with mornings too*
I take off for a little over half a mile jogging. My achilles tendon screaming in pain. I have no idea what I did to it. I can’t even figure out how to stretch it. Weird! *note to self google achilles tendon stretches later*
It was dark out. I worry a little about tripping (and re-breaking my wrist) but not too much. I like running in the dark better than the day. It feels cooler to me or maybe it’s just my mind thinking it is. I am comfortable running in about 30 degrees out, anything else is too hot. *I know right??*
Ends up over the course of 3 miles this morning I ran 1.70 of it. I only timed my run portions of the wog. I almost fell once when my foot went into a crevice in the street. *almost *phew*
But HEY how about that? It’s about half running. I am going to stay positive about that. I am NOT going to let it get me down that I used to breeze out 3 miles like a cake walk and now have to eek out 1.70. If I dwelled on that, it would SUCK. And I don’t do suck, not even in the mornings.
Plus 1.70 is a lot more than other people can do. My new Saucony Progrid Ride 2 were heaven on my feet. After my 6 mile bike ride last night. My legs are feeling pumped. I didn’t reach a runner’s high but I am GLAD I did it.
Today, I began the day positive and healthy. Tonight, another bike ride to end it the same way. *but even better since I will be with Jason*
Life is soooo good.
Happy Hump Day!!
Sometimes the feeling of finishing a run is better than a runners high, in my opinion/past experience
