If running is so good for you, why do I feel like this? (No, that's not actually me.)
That's right folks, for those of you who can count - and tell time - you'll notice that I failed to do my last two scheduled runs (last Wednesday and Friday). I'd like to blame it on the fact that I was distracted by the triumphant return of my wife and son from Colorado - I missed them for 12 days - but that would only be partly true.
The whole truth is: I love my family, and I hate running. So, I skipped. In fact, I was a total slacker last week, and didn't work out, either.
Then on Saturday, the super pro-trainer extraordinaire and owner of Lifelong Fitness, Griff Neilson, graciously put me on a new custom-designed workout. I only did part of it on Saturday, and I'm still sore!
So, tonight, I started out very tired (ready to go to sleep), so just did the best I could muster. I managed to do 2.0 miles in 19:15, which is well on track for a 30 minute 5k, but not my best time yet for 2.0 miles (that was 18:34).
Tonight's songs:
1) Sidewalking - The Jesus and Mary Chain
2) Sowing Seeds - The Jesus and Mary Chain
3) The Hardest Walk - The Jesus and Mary Chain
4) Born in Time - Eric Clapton (from Pilgrim)
5) River of Tears (most of it) - Eric Clapton (from Pilgrim)
My friend the Angry Klingon was back again tonight...and I had a hard time catching my breath, so I rode the speed all over the place.
I was so glad to be done. Got that stupid "runner's high" again - everything was all bright and sharp on my way home, head swimming and pounding - miserable. Who can like that?
Not me. I truly HATE running.
(I will run again on Wednesday.)
