When I looked at my calendar to see what my plan for mileage was today I saw 6-7. I wasn't too excited about getting out in the rain/snow for that. Tom called from work to have me help get him motivated to get outside and get his run instead of heading into the gym for the TM. I'm not sure I gave him much motivation, but after hanging up and looking at my calendar again I realized the 6-7 is what time Tom and Tia have their daddy/daughter date tonight....I only had 5 miles on my agenda! So I figured I may as well just get er done! I headed straight uphill and into the wind and snow/rain for the first 2.25 miles. It was mostly down hill from there. I was suppose to do 1 mile warm up and then 4 at 8:30. I changed that up a bit. I did 2 miles warm up (9:30) then (8:17) (8:12) (8:10).
My observation of the past few days is that many people who smoke and drink, (and not just beer drinkers, soda drinkers too), think it is also their right to throw their cigarette boxes, bottles, cups, cans, straws and lighters out the car window where ever they are. It makes me sad. : ( |
