It took 3 snoozes of the alarm before I pushed myself out of bed, donned my summer running gear and ventured out into what was a really bright, sunny morning at 10 to 5 today. My legs felt really heavy, and did not feel like running at all.
As it was, by the time I had got to Badger Bend (about half a mile) the sun had worked it's magic and I was flying along quite happily well rid of all those negative thoughts. It was a little bit colder than its been of late, but was perfectly acceptable even in a lightweight t-shirt and shorts. I even had a couple of strides to get the heart pumping. Almost 8 miles in just over an hour.
4 laps of the lake last night was my swim for the week. There was a 24hr sponsored swim going on at the same time, so loads more spectators than usual, and as I waded out, they were expectantly waiting for some to finish. They were probably disappointed it was me, and I felt quite embarrassed as I sheepishly pushed through them. 24 hours?? I would be bored stiff. 1 hour 9 minutes for me was enough.
