I love the snow. Yet I hate that it covers all the sidewalks. My millage will be down for the week. I missed 2 miles on Monday because it was raining. Tuesday was an off day. I missed 3.5 miles on Wednesday. Wednesday was valentines day but Jake and I weren't planning anything special Jake was just picking up some Quizznos on his way home so I didn't have to cook supper. I was actually planning to go out and pay $5 and go run at the YMCA or the O'fallon Spirit center or such. Well my sister called and offered to take the boys and watch them for the entire night. I must say I was momentarily indecisive this was going to mess up my running schedule. Wow what is wrong with me. Then I thought well maybe Jake will want to go with me we could go running together. Well that didn't happen. We had a delightful kid free evening and I didn't go running.
Yesterday I made it out to do a boring 3 miles, six times around the block. I was running on the road since the sidewalks were covered. My pace was very slow it took me about 36 minutes to do the 3 miles. Very very slow and I was tired and it was cold i didn't feel 100% and my leg hurt. It's amazing how many excuses I can come up with not to run or why I ran so poorly. Yesterday i had a lot of reasons not to run. All those excuses I had listed above plus Ethan's B-day party was that night and I had a lot of house cleaning to do and dinner to make for 18 people. Yet I took the time really only for one reason for the race coming up in just a week. I really want to run well. I'm worried after the motivation of the race is over my motivation to run might decrease significantly. Sigh. Tonight I won't get to run we have plans to go out for some recognition ceremony for Jake's patent. So at best I will only log 10.5 miles this week pretty sad.
