Happy Monday

Well, I suck at posting again.  Only 2 for the month of July.  Oh well. 

I have officially decided not to do the marathon this year.  I was only half-assing the training, and was undecided anyway.  Plus, I'm leaving this Saturday for a week long cruise, and I was nervous about a 14 mile run on a boat (that's a lot of circles).  I was supposed to be up to 12 miles last week (July 28) but since I had gone to my Dad's house and ran after I got home in the heat of the day, I only did 4 miles.  And yesterday I only ran 6.2 miles instead of 9. 

Yesterday's run was hot.  I waited too long to get out of the house, leaving about 10am, which is my favorite time to run, but the heat was already increasing.  Plus, I was rather dehydrated.  I haven't been that great with my water lately, plus wine on Saturday night, it wasn't pleasant.  Let's just say that I'm very thankful my run took me next to a park with a bathroom, I barely made it there.  My pants (shorts) were down before I had the stall door latched,  It wasn't pretty.  I over estimated my route as well, so instead of a 5-6 mile run, I went 7 miles.  Although, at 6.2 I stopped and walked the rest of the way home.  Needless to say, yesterday's run was not pleasant. 

Last night as I was going to bed I thought that I should run this morning because today is supposed to be as hot as yesterday, if not hotter.  Then when my alarm went off at 4:30am I didn't remember.  It wasn't until my snooze went off at 4:45 that I remembered I should run.  I really thought about staying in bed and doing it later, or even going to the gym (that I pay for and never go to) but I knew I regret it.  Plus, on Friday I woke up at 4:30 and thought about running, but decided not to, then laid in bed for 30 min before deciding to just do it.  If I had gotten up at 4:30 I would have been done, or almost done by the time I actually left.  So this morning I just did it.

It is nice to know that it's done.  I don't have to do it later today. 

This week will probably be a lot of morning runs.  I have something going on almost every evening this week, so unless I want to run late in the evening, I will have to get up. 

I really love the sun and the heat.  It is so nice.  And I love my pool.  I spent a lot of time in it yesterday.  And I fell asleep in it on Saturday (only for a min, someone called my name and woke me up). 

And one last happy thought before I go . . .
