Running In Place

Tonight’s run was fine, I tired a little more quickly than last time but not dyin’ or anything. The weather has remained mild, it must have been high 40′s. There was a misty rain and it was pretty foggy so I ended up sticking to the sidewalks more than I generally do – though some of the sidewalks that go around the perimeter of the school are paved rather than concrete so I don’t think I’m worse for the wear. Garmin crapped out about a 1/2 mile in as I forgot to change the batteries, so I just winged it. As it turned out when I clocked my route by car afterwards, I ran exactly 1.5 miles which was just what was on the docket for tonight. I never thought to look at my watch when I started so I honestly have no idea how long it took me, nor what my pace might have been – not a big deal. I think I am just flat out tired tonight, running or no running. One neat aspect of tonight – as I was running through some neighborhoods I couldn’t help but notice that there were a few Christmas trees up. I enjoyed that as I do get a little warm and fuzzy about the holiday thing – I am looking forward to when I can run through town and see all the trees in picture windows and outdoor lights.

Today’s Run: Happy Blah Whining
Garmin says (Garmin don’t say shit today)
Distance: 1.5 miles

Just a side note, I have been doing (stupid) weights on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m not going to the gym though because just the thought of it makes me buggy, I don’t know why the heck I even have a membership. I’ve just been doing a program at home with some light weights for upper body and strengthening exercises for lower. It’s tolerable and much less agitating than the fitness mill.
