I didn’t get up early this morning. That’s okay…it was planned. Last night, we attended a bowl game party at some friends’ house…had a little bit to drink. 🙂 So I knew I was going to sleep in today.
I had 3 miles on the plan for the day when it was time to run. What a beautiful morning! Although, I didn’t get out until this afternoon and by the time I went, it had turned colder and the sun was under the gray clouds. I went to the golf course to run. I ended up with 3.3 miles and they did not feel good. It was my breathing. My legs felt great. I couldn’t really catch my breath today. I’m chalking it up to the fact that I was probably dehydrated from the night before. Yeah…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! I got home and started to re-hydrate with Muscle Milk and water.
Bad runs used to really bother me, but they don’t anymore. For me, it would be worse if I didn’t get out there.
But the big WOW for today was when I went to get the mail. There was a package from TRISH. When we talked on the phone on Thanksgiving, I was telling her about how I don’t run much outside in the winter when it has snowed or is icy because I’m very fearful of falling. To my surprise, in the package was a pair of YAKTRAX PRO spikeless coils for my running shoes. You strap them onto your shoes and they are heavyduty non-slip running devices. HOW AWESOME OF HER!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to try them out! Thanks so much Trishie!
3.3 miles after a festive night is great! Even if your breathing wasn’t perfect you still got out there and did your thing and that’s what matters. 🙂
