I had planned a rest day today. I've not been sleeping well for a while, and thought I could use an extra hour and a half. I was right - it helped tremendously. But when the alarm went off, I remembered I had invited my sister to lunch today for her birthday, and she wants Mexican food. I can't go eat like that without working out! So, I did what any obsessive compulsive person would do, I decided I'd get my butt up out of bed and go run a 5K.
The weather was beautiful and perfect for running. I got on the trail about 20 minutes before official sunrise, and enjoyed the cool temp and lack of wind. My runmeter kept calling out my splits and my pace and I was amazed at how well I was doing. Normally I run with the speed and grace of a slug. It wasn't my fastest 5K ever, but it was one of my best! What a great morning! Now I just need to see if I can make a healthy choice at a Mexican restaurant! *ha*
5K time: 32:30
