This morning I had planned on getting up at 6 and running. I slept great. My alarm did not go off because I set it wrong but I naturally woke at 6 anyway. I decided to sleep until 6:30. By 6:30 I lost all motivation. My thinking was I could take today off, but I was not thinking clearly.
Anyway my child care schedule got flip flopped these next few days so I actually had this afternoon off starting at 11:30 which rarely happens. So I was able to run during Rob's lunch which I love doing. I love running this time of day especially the fact it was a cloudless blue sky and in the high 40's. You cannot ask for it better than that.
I tried a new route too. I ran down Liberty to Charles to Crestview to where Browning dead ends. I ran up the Croisan Scenic Trail which I have never done before. It basically goes through a woods and dead ends into Croisan Scenic Drive. Then I ran through the Sunnyslope neighborhood to Skyline to Kuebler and back home. The beginning portion was A LOT of uphill and I was overdressed (it was really cold this morning--I wore a thick coat bringing kids to school--warmed up really quickly) so that made it tough. I took way more walking breaks than normal. Once I was on the last mile and a half I was back to my normal pace and I also de-layered a bit.
Was thankful I got a run in despite my lack of motivation this morning.
