well that was pathetic.
after all my waiting and debating over the weather, it started raining and i finally peeled myself off the couch and onto the treadmill.
...for 13 minutes and 30 seconds. i hopped off for no real reason other than i had been telling myself i could take a break (potentially for the bathroom) at a mile and a half. i talked to j for a few minutes and then heard the treadmill shutting off (it readjusts the incline) so i was like, oh well guess i'm done.
too hard to turn it back on, i know.
a big 1.5 miles for today. here's hoping i can stay on schedule for the rest of the week while traveling through the weekend.
in all fairness, technically i had 0 scheduled for today. but i took sunday off so i shoulda ran more...
thursday (3/19) pathetic pm run: 1.5 miles, 13:30 (9:00 avg pace)

there are days when we just don't feel it. try not to be hard on yourself, your next run will be better :)
ReplyDeleteTHAT was funny! Good to know you have those moments too, speedy BQster :)
ReplyDeleteAh, the dreaded 1.5 mile run. Congrats on getting that one outta the way...you NAILED it!
ReplyDeleteSomething's better than nothing right?
ReplyDeleteYou ran 1.5 more than you has scheduled!
ReplyDeleteI think we've ALL done that once or twice. Don't sweat it (pardon the pun, hehe). Have a great weekend and here's hoping for some good runs!
ReplyDeleteI must admit, I completely identify with that story... I'm guilty of the same action. Perhaps I shouldn't say guilty, because I starting to learn that I shouldn't feel "guilty" for things like that. So we'll just call it being "intuitive" and listening to what your body wanted/needed! :-)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, you'll get in a good run tomorrow!
ReplyDeletedont worry girl... you will get your runs in, and if you dont there is next week!! dont be so hard on yourself when you arent even really in training yet, its time to enjoy the runs! :)
ReplyDeleteand enjoying runs does NOT happen on the TM. if i planned zero there is no way i would jump on that thing :)
But you had 0 scheduled, so technically you're an overachiever. :)
ReplyDeleteI guess the treadmill knows best, huh? It happens.
ReplyDeleteEh, don't worry about it! It's your off day anways...so technically you did more than you should! If it was feeling like a chore, then it's probably best to just give it a rest for the day. :)
ReplyDeleteit was a bonus run , right? and now you're warmed up to go have some friday good times:)
ReplyDeleteIf it helps any, I ran 1.5 miles on Thursday too! Plus (as an added bonus) your mileage will undoubtedly top mine this week. Of course, I drank waaaaay more margaritas than you did this week. I guarantee that!
ReplyDeleteI did nothing but drink vodka and tequila last night, so your 1.5 was certainly better than that! :o)
ReplyDeleteWell, I think we all can relate. 13 minutes... that feels like a lifetime on a treadmill and especially on a day when you just aren't into it. At least you tried, right?
ReplyDeleteNice to see you're human! I was beginning to think with all your long runs and fast times that you might be bionic or something! Yes, running a mile and a half DOES qualify as overachieving if you had none scheduled!!
ReplyDeleteyup the Dreadmill will suck it out of you..
ReplyDeleteno worries.. sounds like all is well..
rockon`
PS. nice blog..
Good, now I feel good about doing only 2.3 or so on SAturday- yay!
ReplyDeleteSome days it is just not meant to happen, right?
