I had grand plans for a fartlek workout today early this morning. However, my poor little boy had constipation problems until one in the morning, so I wasn't about to get up at 4:30. Six was bad enough. I almost didn't go at all, but I'm trying to eliminate the excuses for not running. Being a mom is not an excuse, as all of the amazing moms on the blog can attest to. So, when Teren got home from his run, I stumbled out the door and down the street.
I ran 5400 to 1300 west, to river trail and back up through Taylorsville. I tried to keep it faily uptempo since the run wasn't very long. There was lots of construction on 1300 west, so I may avoid running there for a while.
I felt pretty good considering I raced the other day. (Must need to race harder!) My overall time was 41:47. I'm chalking this run up to a mental victory over a sleepless night. |
