It's fine. I ran today...just not as far as I had planned to run. Yesterday's long run (11 miles) was postponed due to rainy weather and my running partner being sidelined with a foot injury.
Still, I thought I should get out there today. After I dropped the kids off at school, I headed out intending to do yesterday's long run.
Unfortunately, I spent too much time in my head. I had all kinds of excuses:
- I was wearing a long sleeve shirt and I was hot. (It was 53 degrees.)
- There was a high pressure system moving in (this afternoon) and I didn't want to maybe, possibly get a migraine.
- It was boring running that long by myself.
- This was really supposed to be my short Monday run.
And then it was very easy to turn left instead of right. I bypassed Mackerel Cove. I skipped the loop around Ft. Getty. I just turned left and headed up the hill to the end part of my run. At least I didn't head straight home.
But it's fine. I ran today.
Today's Run: 6.5 miles. 1:17:54 11.54min/mile pace
What are you doing for exercise today? How do you talk yourself out of shortening your runs?
