Wanted to run, just didn't

The running that I had planned on doing this week did not happen. Yeah, it started off pretty good. I did 5 miles on Sunday. Followed that up with 6.39 miles on Monday. Then I chose to take Tuesday off.

On Wednesday there was a pretty nasty wind storm that produced winds near 70 miles an hour, according to the news. So I decided that I would head to the Y later that evening. So I run suited up and headed for the gym with Grant in tow. As I pulled into the parking lot I was surprised to find that they were closed. I could see some lights on inside, but those could have just been security or auxiliary lights. Who knows. Anyway, I headed back home. That night I made sure to throw my running things in my backpack in case the wind died down enough for Chris and I to head out for a run, which we did. We ended up running 2 miles in 15:34.46. Not too bad. There was a little more wind that I would have liked, but we made it.

Yesterday I worked 2nd shift so that I could end my week early, so there was no running on Thursday.

We will see what the rest of the weekend holds. I may try to go and get some new kicks. If I do, I will definitely have to give them a go. We shall see.

Later
