Lesson Learned!

I loathe being sick.
Especially on cool crisp fall days like yesterday and today.
(insert cry baby face here)

But luckily (?) it was only a 1 1/2 day thing.
I blame it on Mimi's chili. TMI

So about that 10k training?
Yeahhhhh.
Today I was scheduled to do 3 miles.
Only did 1.
I read somewhere that any run you can fit in is better than nothing?
I hope so.
Cause I felt like crap afterwards. 
Probably shouldn't have done it.
But my legs felt amazing during that mile! I couldn't believe it! 
The stomach on the other hand...not so well

I learned something tonight.
It's fall...
The sun sets A LOT earlier than it used to.
Still had some daylight. But not a whole lot.
(Yes I wore bright colored stuff...safety first!)

And...
I was listening to Pandora...
Rob Zombie.  Pandora.
WTF was I thinking?

Nothing like setting the tone of my run with a dose of Paranoia.

Constantly looking over my shoulder because I'm running on a not so well traveled road, at dusk...in October, the scariest month of the year...no streetlights...stupid squirrels rustling through the leaves...making me think there is a mass murderer lurking behind the bushes...waiting to attack me...
Ok.
You get it.
I freaked myself out.
As much as I love your rock n' roll Mr. Zombie.
You are now x'ed from my running mix.


I'll stick to the "fo shizzle my nizzle" music for now.

  1. Rule of thumb I read somewhere and always worked for me….
    If its below the neck, take time off
    above the neck you are ok to sweat it a out a little.

    hope that helps!! FEEL BETTER!
