Regular run

Was supposed to do a 10 mile LSd today.

GB's back gave out. She is out of the program for a little while her back heals. I was still determined to do my part today. Woke up at 4 AM so could finish by 6.30Am and be at home with the kids when the DH went to work. 4 AM was pretty dark, and there were no sounds of traffic today, so hopped on the t-mill to try and finish off an hour at home and go out at 5 AM when all the runners come out. The plan sounded good.

However, I was getting on the t-mill after 3 months, and I simply did not like it, even tho I had some great programs to watch- like the financial crisis on CNN!! Maybe that was it- I felt so tired and slow, kept telling myself to keep at it till 5 AM, and did too but as 5 AM came by, I was feeling hot and fatigued. So called it a day. Kept telling myself that I would regret it, and maybe in the cold morning daylight I do, after all, I was all dressed up to run and just needed to walk out of the door, but 'didnt feel like it'. Had one of my daughters said it 'I didnt do something 'cos I didnt feel like it' she would have got an earful from me. But who can argue with a middle aged cranky woman - not even me. I guess I was really feeling down,- my poor Dh got a whole big tirade before he left for work - must be wondering if I got off the wrong side of the bed!!

Will try again to do the 10 miles, maybe in the week if have a day off, next weekend is the last scheduled LSD - 22-26miles. I am not sure if GB will be upto it, but I am going to plot the course in the next couple of days and treat it like a dress rehearsal for the real thing.
