Kohler's loop. Warm this morning with fairly strong canyon wind on some sections. My legs felt good this morning (even springy), but I had a hard time getting up and going. For at least the first three miles I just kept thinking how tired I was and how little I was looking forward to a long run tomorrow. That feeling never entirely left me, but I started to think that that's what training is all about -- refocusing your mind on your goals and pushing through pain and discomfort. I'll do at least ten tomorrow, but I have a wedding to go to in the morning and I'd like to sleep in a little past 5:15 :)

I agree, some runs are better than other ones. Also running cuts into sleep time which I don't enjoy. But I guess the overall benefit of running is worth it.
