A.M. - Okay. Today my wussiness was on full display. Got home from Dallas last night. My wife was itching to get in a good run (since she can't go when I'm away (young kids)) and also wanted to go to the gym. She's been nice to adapt her Saturday mornings to enable me to go do the group runs the last couple weeks, so this Saturday was for her. My plan was to sleep in and start my run around 8:30. Wanted to do between 16-20 miles on some variation of my standard routes. My wife woke me up around 6:30 right after her run and told me there was a bunch of snow and that she wasn't going to head down to the gym. I was half asleep and my brain wasn't functioning properly, but it should have registered to me that I could have made it to group run at 8 AM. Instead, I went back to sleep and didn't get up 'til after 8. All the snow outside made me chicken-out and abandon my outside running plans and I just decided to go the gym and hit the treadmill again. Made it down there a little before 9. I didn't have a ton of time because we had family pictures scheduled and I needed to try and squeeze in a hair-cut before then. All flat run went as follows: 5 minutes @ 9.0 mph 5 mins @ 9.5 5 mins @ 10.0 15 mins @ 10.0 20 mins @ 11.0 5 mins 11.5 My tummy was malfunctioning at that point, so I pulled the plug at 55 mins and called it a day. Wanted to make it at least another 5 minutes. Could of if I really wanted to, but I'm just a wuss today and don't have a lot of mental toughness lately.
