Some days I can run a few miles, get warmed up and eventually find a groove where my mind is not preoccupied with the complaints coming from my body about running. Today was NOT one of those days as I struggled for every step. It seemed like my pace was too slow, the distance too long, the wind too cold, etc. When an excuse finally presented itself I cut my workout short of the 5 mile goal, gladly.
4.07 mi in 49:31 @ 12:11/mi burning 468 calories with 163 bpm HRavg.

I will probably not get in the rest of my 15 mile week until Friday or Saturday as they are predicting some painfully cold temperatures for the next few days. Maybe I will break down and visit *gasp* the YMCA.
