Another slow slog.

5:16 am, 39°F, 48% humidity, wind 6 SW.

We got out the door a couple of minutes later than usual this morning because I was slow getting ready. Even when we get out on time, Sam is rushed after the run and doesn't have time for breakfast. So we considered cutting the run short but then ultimately decided against it. In order to get home faster, Sam left me when we had about 0.6 miles to go and ran home ahead of me. Still he didn't have time for breakfast. I think that breakfast is important. Maybe we need to get up earlier. Or at least maybe I do since I'm the slow one in the morning. Ugh.

I sped up at the end even though I couldn't keep up with Sam.

Breakfast on the go is usually my answer. Something with nuts & fruit or granola.

I have a hard time getting moving in the morning too. Why it takes me 20 minutes to get dressed is beyond me.

Keep up the good work and have a good time running with Sam. It's great you've got him for running buddy!

I can't function without breakfast...but glad you didn't decide to cut the run short!

good luck at the 5k tomorrow - enjoy that special pain that only a 5k can bring!
