Woke up a little earlier to get a few more miles in. Hoping to chase some stress away, but at my speed today, I wasn't chasing anything. More of just a continuous pounding of the pavement.
Avg pace was around 9:40. I was so slow getting up to speed today. I don't think I hit a 9:30 until mile 6. But I was enjoying the time outside and the crisp cool air. I'm wondering if the good stuff I'm smelling is the holly trees. I'll have to go back out when it's light outside and scope out the good smelling places on my route to figure out what it is.
Showered, ate & took a quick nap before getting ready for work. Woke up with a headache...what's up with that? Glad I didn't have it when I got up at 4, or I might not have run. I'm such a sucker for excuses :-)
The sky was beginning to lighten up as I was heading home. No sun to be seen, but a beautiful shade of blue in the eastern sky. No moon either. I think today is the new moon anyway. Reminds me of a good book I read.....
Speaking of good things: only 9 weeks of school left!!!! |
