On the treadmill.  It's raining ice today and I opted for a quick run so I can take a weekday off running.  Maybe Tuesday, if it isn't still icy tomorrow.

I had a dream that I won a 5K with a time of 20:30.  But when I looked down at my garmin, it was only 2 miles.  Then I was sad because I had felt fast.

Then I woke up and it was a couple minutes before my alarm.  So I got up and ran my 3 miles.  I don't love running in the morning, but if I had more time in the mornings, I would probably do it every day.  Even waking up at 4:50 this morning, it was still hard to be ready on time.

Another AM run that almost wasn't.  I interrupted this run twice, first to get some music because mentally I needed a distraction and second to help my son with something after the music woke him up.  Then I cut it short because I was out of time only to discover that I was ready 5 minutes earlier than normal, so I could have added on a 1/2 mile.  Whatever.

I just run better in the p.m.  I'm sure there's a reason for that.  And not that this run was particularly awesome.  It was just a relatively painless, quick 3 miles on the treadmill.

I guess it's a good thing that I'm bothered by the fact that I missed my run Friday.  It certainly didn't bother me to miss running days this fall.

This was a good run.  I ran at my sister's house.  It was not too cold (upper 30s) and I ended with a fast(er) last two miles.  This was the best run I've had in a long time.
