Today did not feel good!!! I really really really did not want to get up and run. I even stood on the porch for a brief second or two thinking I would just turn around and go back to bed… “But you are already dressed… just start!!” “Just go back and maybe you will be able to fall asleep for a bit.” I finally just started… It was a forced short, slow run. I should say easy but effort wise it seemed very hard. I usually pack my gym bag so that I can get a few more miles in at the gym, but I told myself “NO” take it a bit easier today and just do the one run.
On the positive side, I saw two shooting stars… it was a beautiful morning even though I was grumpy. I was just passing another runner when I saw the second shooting star. She was going the opposite direction from me. I yelled out to her that there was a shooting star, and inadvertently flashed her in the face with my headlamp. I don’t think she was too happy with me.
I’m getting used to the new headlamp. Because of the strap across the top of my head I have had to find new ways to wear my hair. Today I looked like Princess Leah on crack LOL!! But it made it much easier today to run. The strap stayed in place much better. Not that I care too much about the way I look when I run but it’s probably a good thing I have been running in the dark.
