5.95 miles- 9:42 pace
6:10 start time, 45 degrees
Swim flippers were gone today- despite waking up 15 min before my alarm ( thanks bladder!) or maybe because of it, I felt pretty good this morning. Maybe not rushing thru prep and getting out the door is a better choice then those last 15 min of sleep.... something to ponder. I decided to add on some mileage- which I will most likely regret in my 2pm edit session (dark, cold room, squishy couch...) but it's good. I'm gonna be doing longer mid week runs soon enough, might as well start edgeing into it.
Finally gained a little control over my wayward elbows- a constant struggle- We were able to find a compromise with each other today. Also got my shoulders to stay put for longer- another constant struggle. But basically all things lined up much better today. Everything stayed in good shape until the last mile, when I was realizing I had to still walk the dogs, get ready, and be to work a little early. Those thoughts slowed me down- I blame the loss in pace to that. That, and hunger. Man, was I hungry today. Running thru hunger is a strange thing- you can't distract yourself from either state of affairs- and one worsens the other.
Good thinking got done today too- I came up with possible solutions to a friends new dog problems, I got a plan for how to handle Saturdays demands on my time, and a few other small things- some of which I actually remembered when I was done. Sometimes my more brilliant moments running get lost at the finish.
