owie!

when i saw my training for this week i kind of cringed a bit. not because of the hours i will log, or impossible interval times to hit. oh no. no. no. on wednesday it said 'double run day'. uh oh. now for anyone doing any sort of tri training, a 40 minute easy run is HEAVEN. but not for me. not when its before dawn. not when i am the most grumpy unfunctional blob in the morning. no really. people i work with know not to expect a pleasent or even coherent answer before 9 am. bobby doesnt even try to have a conversation with me. the girls dont even get up when i get up in the morning. and no i dont drink coffee. perhaps i should start...so anyway this run today. you know when you open a new bottle of ketchup and it refuses to come out, no matter how hard you hit it (on the 57 of course!) and then slowly, as if it can defy gravity, it saunters out of the bottle? yes that was me this morning. i took EASY to a whole new level. i quite possibly was passed by an 80 year old man on his morning stroll. but i did it, so even in my AM haze, i'll get the work done. because i know that there is a method to the madness.

** pm update - gazelle like on the evening run... so i sorely admit that there might be something good to the agony of early morning jogs...
