This didn’t stop
And the longer I waited the less motivated I was
And then this happened
And exactly 1 mile in I decided 20 on this bad boy was not happening.
So I made it 10 in 1:18 and called it quits. When I walked through the door of my house less than 2 hours after I left LD thought I was injured. Knock.on.wood. I just didn’t have it in me. Mentally not motivated turned into physically not motivated. Sigh. 10 miles is 10 miles but not what I had in mind. Buttttttt….
Tomorrow is another day. And it is supposed to be sunny. That will make me smile.
When a run goes bad
The best medicine is Starbucks with friends!
It was pouring down rain yet my friend Randa met me for coffee and girl time. It was AWESOME. And needed!
Stacey wasn’t there with us but this was the only picture I could find. I know, some friend I am, huh? While we were sipping hot drinks and watching the rain Stacey was out running Santa Barbara…where it wasn’t raining. Oh, and sneaky OUAL was there breaking 4! Congratulations friend!!
