Absolutely horrible!!

I woke up not feeling 100% and should have taken that for a sign and gone back to bed. My legs were okay, I think it is more my shoes at this point than anything, but my new ones still have not arrived. I could not get my rhythm at all. It was such a struggle to move and try to run. We ended up calling it an easy day because no matter how hard I tried it would not work. More to try tomorrow

 PM - Headed back out to redeem myself and "climb back on the horse" as they say.  So much better!  I am always amazed at how much faster I am at nights.  I refilled my "mom cup" and my "running cup."  Two lessons learned:  I need to warm up more/wake up earlier, 10 min before I leave is not enough.  #2  I miss my Mizuno shoes (I ran in an old pair) - Came home and ordered more.  Ave pace for the 3 miles 8:13.
 

Happy Running!

Sorry your run didn't go so well. But, you got out and put in the miles-good job! (I made it as far as the closet before heading back to bed)

Good job for at least doing something, despite the not feeling well. Having a bad day helps us to appreciate the good days (at least that's what I tell myself). :)

Wait to go on getting back out and getting more miles in and feeling much better about it. What a great pace! That is really good! I hope those mizunos come fast:)
