I'll keep running....
Because it gives me perspective.
Now I realize my problems aren't so big.
My life is pretty great afterall.
And a mile is a lot longer than it seems in the car.

So here are my excuses for such a crappy time:

1.  I played an 8 game RCOB- volleyball tournament yesterday after not playing for 5 months and as primary hitter and blocker, I jumped about 4,000 times and had to run from the server's spot up to block every time.  I couldn't even walk this morning my legs are killing me! not to mention my abs, lower back, right shoulder, and neck.  The fact that I even made it from bed to the bathroom this morning was a miracle.

2.  The entire first mile of the damn race was short steep uphills, I considered quitting around .75 miles in and just walking home.

3.  Daylight savings time.... probably didn't actually effect my run but I just need to blame it for something other than it being dark at 4:30!

4.  It was 33 degrees out and windy at start time and my teeth were chattering at the starting line.

5.  I have nothing else but I just feel like complaining!

 

I did however win a $50 gift card to Awol Boston (never heard of it!) and I took enough fruit to pack for breakfast for work for the week!
