I was scheduled to run 20 miles @ 8:11 pace. I slept like crap last night. My wife snored most of the frigging night. I woke up with a headache. I had aikido class this morning. The rolling and falling didn’t help the headache. When I got home, I was planning on running, but I really didn’t feel like it. I ended up taking a nap for an hour. When I woke up, my headache had gotten worse. Ack! I didn’t feel like running at all. I procrastinated for quite a while. I finally put my running shorts on around 3pm. I think I put my running shoes on about 4pm. Somewhere around 5pm, I actually got onto the treadmill. I really didn’t feel like running. Have I ever mentioned that I really don’t like running? I ran 5 miles, then I joined my wife downstairs for a sub. Then I headed back up with plans to run another 5 miles see how I felt then. The movie I had been watching on TV had ended, so I popped in a DVD. It was movie titled 2 Seconds which has a lot of cycling. I ran the 5 miles, and actually felt a little better. I ran another 2 miles and decided to call it a day. So I ran 12 miles. I will run the remaining 8 miles first thing tomorrow morning. At least my head is feeling better. I didn’t get all mile mileage in, but at least I got a good chunk of it done, which is better than none.
