Whew…ran this morning, and it felt good to a point. I learned, again, this morning why I prefer running alone. First, if you’re not running in sync with the person next to you, the off rhythm thump-thump-thump of their feet can really throw you off. Second, if the guy next to you is an avid marathoner, it can be quite daunting to try to keep your flabbing butt moving when he looks like a swizzle stick. And third, when the guy next to you not only listens and SINGS to his music, but also proceeds to hold a LOUD conversation with the walking woman next to him (so much so that she would comment and he would yell “what?” so she would have to yell her answer or comment back) the thought of running alone around the lake in the morning becomes SO much more appealing. Guh.
So I ran/jogged/walked for 30/5, 2.56 miles, burned 309 calories (if you can trust the machines), then went home and showered and napped. I really needed the nap today since I woke up at 12:15 this morning having only slept for 3 hours and then tossed and turned for the next 4. I hate that…it just makes the day hard. I’m guessing I’ll be crashing around 8:30 again this week like I did last. But onward through the fog…
