I was scheduled to work at 11:00 am Saturday but just as I was about to walk out the door, they called me and said they were really slow and I could stay home until 3:00 if I wanted to. I decided to take them up on it and go run. I went to my usual park and did 6 miles. I thought I could do more but didn't want to be sore all day at work.
Today I got up and decided to go run. I've decided I do better in the morning if I can go then. I already texted Sherry and told her but I ended up doing 8 1/2 miles!! The first half was really hard. I didn't really feel into it and my back hurt even though I had taken some Ibuprofen. I kept trying to relax my muscles in my back and after about 4 miles, it seemed easier. After 7 miles I walked up a hill that is about 1/4 mile long and then finished the last mile. It as a beautiful morning and running just put me in the best mood.
I'm kind of curious to see how I am at running in the morning. I know a lot of people run before work, but all my running has been in the evening, or early afternoon on weekends. The other morning when my alarm went off at 5:15 I had the thought that getting out and running at that time didn't seem at all appealing. I guess I'm going to find out how I like it really soon!
