Jones, good job! Sometimes the hardest part is getting started!

So last evening after work was my 5 miler. I ran w/ my new compression sleeves thinking it may help since I am tiredd. I think just tired from the busy Thanksgiving weekend, followed by getting ready for company and party and this past weekend being busy. So it wasn't a fun 5 miles. Not srue if the compressions sleeves helped. At first I thought they would be hot since it is back to in the 70's and very muggy/humid here.

So I had to get up and do 8 miles today. Hard to do that mid week. I set alarm for 5 so I could be out by 5:30 and get to work at a descent time (although I blocked my calendar at work and not one really cares when I come in as long as I dont' have a meeting.) But it was dark and I was tired. So reset alarm for 6. That way most of my run would be in the "light". It was a slow start, I had a few moments of getting my rhythm and speed up. Overall I planned and knew it would be slow. Just need to get my running mojo back! At least I ran along the water front a bit and it was nice. My quads are really starting to get tight. Usually that only happens when I run fast. I am NOT running fast. I think the warm muggy conditions are playing a bit into my sluggishness. It is not hot, but not cool and crisp that adds a spring to my running step.

Friday I plan to really do an easy 4 miler. Slow with lots of walking. Just get the miles in but relax with it. I have 5 miler on Sat. and then the BIG run of 16 miles on Sunday. YIKES that is the most I have ever done (once I complete it!)

Well I am off to Disney tomorrow (joy of living in FL so close) to redeem my free B-day. So I'll go and be a kid again (one needs to do that once the years start ticking by sooooo fast!)

So has anyone noticed we are still on last weeks post? Guess we might as well wait until next week to start a new one!
