Running v staying in the warm and getting my dinner

I’d been telling myself all day that tonight I was going to go out for a run what with me having been an idle so and so recently and only a week and three days ’til the 10k. My resolve’s steelyness was tested though when I got off the train and it was a) cold; b) tipping it down; and c) windy. So I had to decide whether to a) go out for a run like I’d told myself all day I was going to; or b) go home via the offy, make my dinner and chill out in the warm and dry.

Well, yay, go me and that, as I did go out for a run, yah!! But, man, that was hard. And – although I didn’t think so at the time (but my stats don’t lie to me. At least I don’t think they do) – v. slow. Not to mention it was only a pathetic two miles. Yikes, the 10k’s in a week and three days and I’m wimping out after a pathetic two miles.

So then, what can I blame my feebleness on today? Monday’s body pump class? Tuesday’s excessive alcohol consumption that made me sleep through my alarm on Wednesday morning which meant I didn’t get to work ’til lunchtime (oops)? The wind, the rain and the cold? If anyone has any motivation and/or running ability (and excuses as I’m running out of them) they can send my way, I’ll be v. grateful.

Now here’s your chance to marvel at my amazingly impressive stats, not to mention my impeccable music taste, heh heh.
