Running streak: PRI

Wasn't motivated to push it at all today, committed myself to just cruising for 30 minutes, decided while riding down the elevator that doing so was plenty, I am afterall in the taper stage of Becca's marathon plan, walked out the front door of my Holiday Inn Express, took two steps and saw a runner off in the distance that looked reasonably fit, but not running too fast and next thing I know I have decided that I must catch and pass them, but who knows when they may turn, so better do so quickly....it didn't take even half a mile, but once I start running fast I don't like to slow down and since I also don't like to run the same pace for very long that only leaves one option. Glad I got a hard effort in this week, just wish I had a better idea of how far and how fast I went even though I know that knowing may be a disappointment. Anyway, I will miss my ocean view runs and the teal water etc., but I am still very much looking forward to getting home. Off to Miami, FL for next 2 days first, not out of the humidity yet.

Proud of myself for getting up early enough to do this -- didn't feel like running hard, didn't wake up early enough to run far. Humidity is always surprising to me, which in itself is surprising to me considering that I grew up in it...being rained on basically has zero affect when it is as humid as it is.

Very nice weather, didn't have time to go any further -- well, I guess I had time, but work is weighing heavily on my head to the point that I'm wary of being away from the phone for more than 20-30 minutes at a time these days (flights are brutal), so this is all I'd allow myself. If I can wrestle myself out of bed early tomorrow perhaps I will get in more than 4 miles for the first time in what seems like forever...not that it's about distance, but still. Hmmm, I just realized that "early" tomorrow will be SUPER early for my head, considering I'm on Eastern time here in PRI, but then, I can't really assume that my brain is even on Arizona time so I'll just stop complaining now and sign off.
