I was supposed to take today off, but since I took Tuesday, I thought I'd go out today. I wish I hadn't. I could not get moving. I should have just stayed home and done some housework. That would have been productive. On a brighter note, I decided to try out my new MP3 player. I love it, except for the ear buds that come with it (they are made for Dumbo or something). I have learned something from this, though, and that is that I need to make sure to pick the right music for running. It was kind of irritating switching the song every time there was a slow one. The good part was that it's really easy to switch songs. On my player I can set up playlists, though, so I'll put together some good running songs. It does have a stopwatch function, so I decided to try that out. I shouldn't have. Since I couldn't get motivated to run, I was extra slow. I started with Paul at 10:18 pace and that felt pretty good, but I ended up doing about 14:30 pace with all the walking. So sad. Oh well, I did appreciate that I didn't have to wear a watch to see how slow I was. I really don't like wearing one.
Well, hopefully I'll feel more energetic tomorrow for my morning run with Bethany. I'm going to chalk my sub-standard run today up to working too much, getting up earlier than usual, and not being especially motivated (since I didn't have to run today). I usually have more energy on Saturdays, anyway.
