Man, it was work today. I woke up excited and ready to go after my 5 miles on Sunday. I took yesterday off and was looking forward to running today.
The stars were not aligned for me this morning. My good running clothes were in the dirty hamper. I normally have some tightness in my left hamstring that I can usually run out during the first interval or two. That tightness decided to stick around today....for the entire run. Every time my watch beeped to start running again, I felt like I was out of step to get going again. To top it off, there was traffic that I had to wait for at every single road crossing.
But, I kept at it. The tightness in my leg did let up a little bit during the last 5 minutes of my run or so. A kind and sympathetic driver slowed down so I could cross the street at the last crossing. I came home and did laundry so I can have my favorite clothes for Thursday. I never fixed the feeling that my timing was off.
My children are crazy today too. Maybe something in our world is just out of whack. Thursday will be better. I will feel better and I will go further and faster.
And....if anyone has some good stretches for the muscle that I affectionately refer to as my move your butt muscle, I am open to anything that will loosen it up!
Today's stats:
2.8 miles in 37.14 minutes (13.1 minute miles)
