I've been in a conendurum about running lately. I try REALLY hard to get up early and get my working out done before my family even gets ups. I have a neighbor who is constantly gone from her kids (they are left alone) teaching various workout classes. I totally understand that moms need a break, but I feel like (for my neighbor) her family is suffering because of her absence.
Therefore most of my runs are done alone (it's hard to find buddies to go super early). I've been struggling a bit to find the motivation to go alone day after day. The long runs are even harder. So when I got a text yesterday to run with Rachel, Smooth and Karen, I knew I HAD to go. I needed a buddy. I found a babysitter this morning and felt guilty for leaving my kids. BUT I felt better. My spirits were lifted. I appreciated all the encouragement from my friends. Sometimes it is hard to find balance.
ONTO THE RUN:
Oh my...the humidity. I was sweating just sitting in the car. It was comparable to running in the Bahamas. Uck! But there was some good cloud cover and lots of good conversation. My legs were definitely tired after running 12 miles yesterday. I was suppose to do some MP miles, but it wasn't happening.
So glad I went. So glad the long run is over. So glad for a shower. So glad for a nap.
