September 16 Plan: 5k tempo Actual: 5k steady
I did. I really did. I had high apple pie in the sky hopes for this run.
I was feeling relatively good. It had been a stressful day at the office and I was actually looking forward - REALLY looking forward, which is unusual for me - to getting out there, pounding the pavement and putting it all behind me. So this should have been a great run.
But alas.
It wasn't horrible, I'll give it that, but I never did move my rubber tree plant.
I think part of it was the sun/heat. Which I was no longer accustomed to thanks to our cooler summer. Whatever it was, it wasn't as easy as I'd hoped it would be.
Still, before I get carried away, it wasn't a horrible run, either. I still gave it a straight line smiley face, so it can't have been that bad!
I must admit I'm getting a bit bored of the routes in the immediate vicinity of my house. I really wish I had some other options but I can't justify getting in the car and adding time to already packed work nights. So through my hood I go.
Just over a month now until race day. Surely I can suck it up and make it through these next few weeks close to home.
