This morning was, for sure, an odd morning for this house. Connor woke up at his normal time and lately, I have been getting up after I put him back to bed to have little bit to eat, get some water and get ready for my run. Connor will normally wake up for good an hour later and then we go immediately for a run. This morning, I was so tired I fell back asleep after I put Connor back to bed and woke up at 7:00! Holy cow, this can't happen this morning. We have a ton to do today and not enough time to do, I can't believe I slept past my normal run start time.
So, Connor was up and we were out the door in 15 minutes. BIG MISTAKE!! 2.5 cycles into my 5/1's, I had to go to the bathroom....BAD! Oh....this is not going to be good. I finished my 3rd 5/1 and couldn't run any longer for fear of exploding. I did make it home, but I need to make sure I am taking care of myself when I go for a run. This includes water intake, food intake, stretching, warm-up and cool down. I am not doing myself any good if I have to cut runs/workouts short because I am not taking care of myself.
This afternoon we are leaving for Orlando for the weekend. This is the first schedule twist since I started my mini-marathon work. It will be a test to see how I do in terms of meals, keeping up my momentum, my attitude. Since my run was miserable this morning, I am hoping to have the energy to try again, re-energized by being in my happy place.
