As good as I felt yesterday, I feel bad today. I think I am on a cycle of good day/bad day/good day/ bad day. To add insult to apathy, it rained the entire run. Honey braved the bad weather to roll with me today too. Risky, I suppose, but she needs to get out of the house as much as I do sometimes.My plan for the day was to wake up and go for a nice, long bike ride. Honey decided to let me sleep in. It is a conspiracy to keep me in the house, I'm sure. She knew if I slept in, I would be too lazy to go. The unfortunate part of sleeping in these days is that pretty much only means sleeping until around 9am. Whoopee! It was enough to ruin my plans. Thanks Honey!!
It isn't her fault that I am a lazy bastard. I still could have gone, but the weather didn't really cooperate either. It rained on and off all day so it put a damper on any enthusiasm I may have had to go out. As it was, we had to work hard to find a window in the weather to go for our run. It was still raining when we went, but at least the thunder and lightning stopped.
Here are my numbers:
Time: 50:00
Distance: 5.55 miles
Pace: 9:01/m
Max Pace: 6:16/m
Calories: 705
Avg HR: 136
Avg HR: 136
Max HR: 151
I went back and forth inside my head about how long I would run today. On the one hand, last week I only ran 25 minutes, so I didn't want to stretch myself too much today. On the other hand, it is my long run day and I wanted to stretch myself out. I think I am contradicting myself. I do that a lot. I opted for 50 minutes.
From the second I went out, I knew it was going to be tough. I was listening to music but it just got on my nerves, so I took my headphones out. I just couldn't deal with it today. I am kind of pleased with my pace considering my lack of motivation and my physical lethargy. I felt so good yesterday...I am hoping that tomorrow will be another good day. Now, it is time to dry off and get ready for a double header of TV pleasure tonight: Dexter and True Blood! Sex, blood, vampires, murder, and great TV. See you tomorrow.
Run for Life!
