What ever happened to Global Warming?!
Well...445 is early...
and early is COLD!!
That makes me wonder how in the world I'll ever be able to run in the cold when I can barely make the walk to the car in the cold.
But I rolled out of cushy cozy bed and opened the door to let the dog out (I figured no one is up at 445, he doesnt need me to supervise his peepee time.) Then pokeyly made my way to the gym. Still somehow regardless of the fact that its 5am, that stupid gym is STILL full. I thought maybe that it was just a new years resolution rush when they first opened it, but its never died down. Silly hardcore people...
I did 30 minutes on the eliptical at a 10 and 10 and moved to the treadmill and started on my training plan. Todays outline called for solidly running one mile. After almost quitting several times and running at a very slow pace, I managed the mile as well as a tenth of a mile on either side to warm up and cool down. As easy as that sounds, I'm very sleepy now. I was a bit surprised at the fact that I ran the whole way because the last time I ran I was just getting to a full mile at once. Before then, I was doing a minute on and off until I got to two miles which was like running a mile, but not at once. My last attempt at running was easily three months ago. But I made it this morning.
Now I'm agonizingly tired, but happy. I got home in enough time to play with the dog, stretch and make my lunch. Salad for lunch Kashi bar for afternoon snack. Good deal.
The only downer today was going to the gym and seeing the same faces that I had seen the last time I was a regular too. They were still there, still being regulars and still doing great. It made me a little sad. I went for a minute to the "if only" place and quickly realized, thats a silly place to be.
Gotta go make my tea now.
See ya tomorrow!
